Before we run to far with this Harry is a Squib or a muggle idea,
let's remember that on the day he was born the magic quill entered his
name in the book of future students. That implies that Harry was born
magical. He didn't meet Voldemort until he was about 15 months old. So
the encounter with Voldemort only added /addition/ powers to Harry.

The idea that Harry and/or Voldie lose their magic in the end is not a
new idea, and there are several variations on it. One is that it will
be an incidental outcome of the final confrontation. Another is that
Harry will have to consciously choose some course of action knowing it
means paying a very heavy price to defeat Voldemort.

If Harry lost his power, while that would emotionally hurt, it
wouldn't be the end of his access to the wizard world. Hermione's
parents, with her help, are muggles who entered the wizard world.
Certainly if Harry wanted in, all he would have to do is stand outside
the Leaky Cauldron, and seeing him there, Tom-the Innkeeper would let
him in.

Also, muggle taxis traveled to the Burrow, if they can get there, then
certainly Harry can get there. 

So, while it would be tragic, I don't think it would be as
melodramatically tragic as some people make it out to be, and
certainly wouldn't require 'memory charming' Harry to spare him the
pain. Life is long, why numb a momentary pain only to lose a lifetime
of friendship and love. Just doesn't seem necessary.

Just one man's opinion.
