"We know that Voldemort can no longer possess Harry, but what if Harry possesses Voldemort? What better way for the Love Harry supposedly represents to enter Voldemort's mind, destroying him through the "ancient magic" he despises? And how fitting for Harry to turn Voldemort's own powers against him without stooping to casting an Unforgiveable Curse.
"And instead of being a passive instrument of destruction who must
himself be destroyed, Harry can actively wield the power of possession as no one else in the WW can.
Carol, hoping that this idea provides a viable alternative to Harry
the Horcrux."
CH3ed: Viable is an understatement!! I like this theory a lot. A lot more than the Harry is a Horcrux theory.
If LV can possess Harry then it is only logical that the reverse is possible. LV is probably agreeing with Carol in employing occlumency against Harry when he saw that Harry could penetrated his mind without being noticed (until the attack on Arthur Weasley) and then his failed possession of Harry at the Ministry at the end of OotP should have told him that there is a power in Harry that LV couldn't withstand. That would also support DD's idea that LV's GH attack and scarring of Harry equipped Harry with the mean to defeat LV. From the plot so far it seems clear that Harry must use his power to love to defeat the loveless LV in the end, but I couldn't work out how because I think LV is a sociopath. Love and compassion just aren't in his vocabulary... so I can't see Harry causing LV to experience love in any passive way (I mean, if DD couldn't then Harry haven't got a chance in this department). So having Harry force love into LV via possession is quite promising... IMHO.
I'd love it if someone mention this theory to JKR while a camera in trained on her face so we can see her reaction. ;O)
