  I had to comment on this because you have reiterated something that I have mentioned a few times as have many others (albeit often about different characters). Maybe its just that I'm basking in the aftermath of Episode Three fever (the only other fandom that has such a place in my heart as Harry), but I'm really interested by the fact that you, me and some others have mentioned the whole being absorbed into the force thing. The reason I bring this up is because one, I think its a ver viable possibility with many characters. I believe that once someone gets so much power (like Voldemort or Dumbledore--Both on different sides of the spectrum, but highly powerful all the same) there must be something other than death. Almost that they are more magical than mortal so the body will inevitably fail and they will become something else. Another way I was thinking of it is that if you think of the force as a religious/spiritual movement then in my mind the magical spirtuality of the Wizards of the Potter world must have some kind of similar *Something* inside of them. I wonder if perhaps this idea of being absorbed into whatever power is around  the characters has become some kind of archetype or pattern since the days when it was first seen (of course prevalent in Star Wars and a slight hint at the metaphors in something like Lord of the Rings). My other thought with Voldemort is that if he does have something along these lines happen what will he be in this other "form" or whatever you want to call him. Will he like, Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi return to the way he was before he was corrupted or will he remain kind of like the voice of darkness for up and coming wizards (think the diary to the extreme ;) ). I guess this line of thinking would then lead us to another prediction or question about book 6/7. Will Voldemort and all his evil be destroyed by Harry in a big climatic battle and then Voldemort is killed by the boy who lived. Or will something else happen? Will Voldemort repent and destroy himself? I think its an interesting angle we haven't thought of in the past. Tom Riddle became bitter and turned evil because of his hate of his muggle father, his desire for power etc...So will it happen that Voldemort will see (in a very complex way of course) the error of his ways after all this time? I almost like to wonder about this now that my mind has been set into motion. I had always assumed that Voldemort is and always will be pure evil and Harry will kill him because he's so good. But maybe Harry's apparently imbedded goodness will come through in a different way and the love that Harry has (which has always been an important factor in the plot as far as how Harry will destroy LV) work on Voldemort in a different way? Its a lot of questions, but something that could make a very interesting twist in the story I think. But then again finals may have just fried my brain and all of this is nonsense to everyone else ;)
