I really like this idea. It also works if you believe Harry's scar
is an unintentional horcrux and would be a way for Harry to
eliminate Voldemort, his horcruxes, and the part of Voldemort in him
without sacrificing himself to do so, perhaps elimiating the scar
and Voldie abilities like parseltongue (which I think Harry would be
happy to part with). In any event, I think that door in the DOM
will come into the next book somehow.
