could never quite work out how to get Harry reunited with Siriuss 
and his parent under those circumstances. The best I could come up 
with is that he could hear them on the /other side/, or best case, 
they pull back the Veil and he can see their ghostly spirits. 
There's not much precedent for communication from beyond the Veil 
though, so the idea was a little weak.

it have to go to the end of the year? Not sure how to resolve that.

Tonks here:
Harry has to go beyond the veil too and actually be dead in order 
for what LV left in him to die with LV. As you say, once beyond the 
veil they can not come back, so a hand can not reach out to outside 
the veil to grab LV. Harry has to go in with him. I like the veil 
being pulled aside. This might happen later, after Harry goes in. 
Representative of the temple veil being torn in two when Jesus died.

As to Halloween. It is true that the *veil* is thinnest at that 
time. Someone else on this list either suggested it or had some hint 
from JKR, I am not sure which, that the final battle happens before 
the school year ends. The last book will not end at the end of the 
year. 

Of course the reason for this is that Harry is dead. But I think 
that like Christ, he will be the only one to return from behind the 
veil. And then he will go back again, or on to somewhere that 
represents Heaven. I still think, in spite of the fact that the WW 
observes Christmas and Easter (which means that Harry is not Jesus, 
because He has already been in the world and done all of that 
already) that Harry represents Christ in these books. Or perhaps the 
Christ in each of us.
