I can't imagine JKR would 
write suicidal Harry! (well, that's my opinion, anyway)


Sherry now:
i hope that she does not write Harry choosing to die in any way.  With the
frightening percentages of teenage suicide, I'd be upset to have suicide
presented as a viable or even a good option.  Kids need to have hope.  well,
don't we all?  Yes, I can see Harry dying to save others, but never dying
just because life is too hard.  He's not the type to give up like that.  But
then, I do not want Harry to die for any reason.  If he does, all the wonder
and hope in the books would be wiped out.  


Lucianam
Hey! Anyone thinks that'd be a possible ending to the series, Harry 
being deprived of all his magical powers because he loses his scar? 
Could ALL Harry's magical powers have been passed on to him by 
Voldemort when he AK'ed him as a baby? That'd mean Harry is a squib, 
ha ha ha. Crazy.

Sherry now:
I don't have access to my braille books now, so I can't find the reference,
but doesn't the first book say that Harry's name has been written down since
he was born?  Aren't we told that whenever a magical child is born, it's
name gets written in a special book in Hogwarts?  If I'm right, then it's
obvious that Harry was born with magic, that not all of his powers come from
his connection with Voldemort.  In fact, I believe Dumbledore says that
*some* of Harry's powers come from Voldemort.
