Now for another take on the title of Book VII. Anyone familiar with
Civil War Americana has run up against the term, "the Hallowed Dead"
in reference to Confederate casualties. JKR isn't referring to that,
but it is suggestive.
Perhaps the Deathly Hallows Harry must deal with are the revered dead,
or the causes of the revered dead. He must deal, in other words, with
avenging his parents, Sirius, and Dumbledore.
Given that, perhaps one theme of the book would be moving beyond the
Deathly Hallows -- that is learning to let the revered dead rest and
live his own life. In this perhaps he could be helped by Lupin, who
has been moving through the world in a kind of suspended animation
himself, but whose shipping developments might presage an awakening.
Just a thought.
