Hahahaaa!  That's too funny.

I don't think I actually heard it on this list -- I've only been on here for a week or so.  I don't recall where I read it, but it was definitely on a website somewhere.  I would guess, then, then someone else read it here 'weeks ago' then incorporated it into their own theory...

Gosh, now I wish I could remember where I read it.

I don't think that JKR has released ANY information about the last 
chapter titles, so I was pretty sure it was groundless.  However, it 
fits so nicely into my theory of Harry's necessary self-sacrifice that I decided to 'run with it'.  I still think it would be a GREAT title, not cheap at all.  So, kudos on your more-apt-than-you-intended 'joke'.  :)
