Tonks_op:"So in the end I think that Harry will be given a choice, a
hard  choice. DD has already laid the foundation for us to understand
hat  in his *remember Cedric* speech. Harry will know the cost to
imself  and perhaps to those that he loves. He will make that choice
and  the sacrifice of his life, because he is who he is. He is a
caring,  compassionate, forgiving human being, fully human flaws and
all, et  with a goodness that goes deep within him. Just like us. And
by his  death Harry will show us how to truly live."

Lupinlore: "Perfectly possible. It would be an ending that I would
find -- and it IS just my opinion -- utterly insipid. But it is
perfectly possible."

Nicky Joe:"I agree, and it would so suck if Harry dies. I would really
like to see JKR come up with something plausible that doesn't involve
the epic but overdone sacrifice routine."

I've proposed this before, so here goes: what if Harry had to give up
his magical abilities in order to take away Voldemort's? Voldemort
would instantly cease to exist, because he hasn't been naturally alive
for many years.  

We have no idea how it would be done, but it's plausible because of
the links between the two of them.

It seems certain that Harry will pay a high price for defeating
Voldemort.  Giving up his magic would be a huge sacrifice for him,
arguably more than his life, the thing that made him special, the
thing that identified him and rescued from the Dursleys.

OTOH, the power that Voldemort knows not - the power to love - will
remain, and in the end, it was this power that defeated Voldemort. 
Harry will keep that.
