 After this kind of death, Harry will be "reborn" into the love and 
adulation of his friends and the wizarding world. His ability to 
love - love enough to make the sacrifice - remains, because it's the 
power Voldemort knows not.

That's a really good answer and it's got me thinking alright.  If 
Harry did sacrifice his magic, he'd have to go back to living as a 
muggle and would lose day-to-day contact with the WW, and Ron, 
Hermione etc (if still alive, which in this instance would be more 
moving if they were) would carry on being witches/wizards without 
him.  Perhaps it would be kinder for someone to perform a memory 
altering charm so that Harry forgot all about everything.  We would 
then come full circle.  Harry would be famous in the WW, his name 
known to every man, woman and child and there probably really would 
be a 'Harry Potter Day' and Harry would once again be completely 
oblivious to the whole thing.

I hope not though!

On a slight tangent it was mentioned that magic was 'bestowed' on 
Harry by LV's AK on him as a baby.  What about the possibility that 
he was actually born a squib and *all* his magical ability came from 
LV?  Therefore once the connection between them was broken he was 
left as a squib again etc etc
