Chys:

I think it's all stereotypes anyway, but live or die, it's going to 
be a world famous conclusion. (It can't help but be at this point.) 
It just makes me wonder exactly how this is all going to accumulate 
in the end. Some thoughts of mine:

I see Harry as the 'young mischievious monkey' type character and DD 
is the 'old wise monkey' type. (It's ok if you don't follow me, it's 
from a story I read.) Eventually if Harry lives long enough, he's 
gonna grow up and be like the old wise man, and all will be well, but 
only one monkey can rule monkey mountain, dude. Thus no DD in the 
end, probably. *Just me rambling on mythology/character ideas*


I disagree that DD is immortal -in that way- for his ideal, or the 
spirit behind his character can never die- But I suppose he can be 
immortal if he's like the phoenix, but he would have to die and be 
reborn if he were and that would be a problem seeing as if he were 
reborn as an infant like Fawkes seems to be a chick again, then 
there'd be no way he could help Harry in the end; thus the classic 
Hero confrontation for LV and Harry would ensue on schedule.

Yeah. I think that's the way to go. What could he come up with that's 
more elegant, eh?

The final confrontation- 
Chys' style *hides the few remaining braincells*:

HP: *shoots random magic from his wand*
LV: *gasps and shrinks*
DD: *stumbles onto the scene* What happened?!
HP: *holds up a twitching frog* Uhm, his name's Tom, can I keep him?
DD: O.o;;
