--- In HPforGrownups at yahoogroups.com, "Sherry Gomes"   I would be 
disappointed if we are presented with a completely magical solution 
to the series.  I expect and hope that it will be combination of all 
the things I mentioned AND MAGIC.

Tonks here:

As Geoff pointed out upthread the type of Love that Christ had for 
the world is a special type of love. And I think that it is the 
ultimate *magic* or *magick* if you will. As Geoff pointed out we 
often get confused with the term *love*. The type of love that can 
love ones enemy is a love of CHOICE, not a feeling. In a book 
called "The Road Less Traveled" the author points out this concept 
of Love as a choice. Anyone would find it hard to love an enemy if 
it required a goodie, goodie feeling. It is not a feeling. Affection 
is a feeling. Love, real love is a choice. And it is a choice to 
place the welfare of another on at least an even basis without own.

I just finished rereading SS/PS. And DD tells Harry that LV can not 
be killed. So there must be something else that has to be done.
