DuffyPoo:

Where do you (and others on this list) get that?  First off, Dementors don't kill they soul-suck.  The body is still alive as long as the brain works and the heart continues to beat (according to Lupin).  Nowhere, though, in any of my two sets of five books - taking into consideration all the various edits - have I seen any evidence that HP cannot die except at the hand of LV.  DD knows the Prophecy from the get-go.  Why would he believe that HP was "nearly killed" at the end of PS?  Why would he need to slow him down when Dementor attacked in mid-air in PoA?  For all the years that LV was VaporMort, why would HP need the protection he has while at the Dursleys if no one but LV can kill him?  Remember when Vernon was choking HP in OotP and he "released Harry as though he had received an electric shock.  Some invisible force seemed to have surged through his nephew, making him impossible to hold."  Was Vernon too close to actually killing HP that the protective charm on the house kicked in to save him?  HP didn't seem to think it was his own uncontrolled magic.
