I'm sorry but that is not what you said. You said this: 

"If JKR is to make this story believable and real,
then Harry will never be the same again. We won't ever see that
happy, healthy boy we met on the train to Hogwart's. To bring in a
similar story, he'd have to be like Frodo, broken by his
experience." (post 130369)

Here you exclude every other possible ending, especially an ending
which does not have a deeply traumatized Harry, for a believable story. 

And that is what opened the can  :)
Because a lot of people - me among them - don't believe in a standard
response everyone has to have to trauma.
