Chys:

That makes more sense, that one who is full of life can accept death. 
Maybe that's why Voldie fears DD, he's saying death is just the next 
great adventure, so he obviously accepts it. It's a power against LV, 
to live (and to die) and to love so much that you would die for 
another, like Lily did. (Ok so Harry's full of a lot of anger, but he 
loves his friends- more that LV does for his followers.Hm.)

So if Harry has so much of this and he's not afraid of dying once he 
accepts it, it leads me to believe there's going to be that self-
sacrifice on Harry's part, once he accepts that to live is to 
eventually die.

I think in this life aspect, LV is in the non-living department, he's 
just existing, not living. I'm assuming there's something about that 
unicorn blood and a half-life/cursed life reference which will come 
full circle later, at least if things are explained more clearly 
afterwords it could be a possibility. (JKR has so many references that 
don't seem important until later so I'm not overlooking anything as 
inconsequential.)
