Jen: Nice point!  I like the idea of a narrative line from Godric's 
Hollow (Hallow's Eve) and Lily's sacrifice to the Locked Room and 
Harry's defeat of Voldemort.  Since the information we learned about 
Lily in book 5 & the 'significant' piece of information waiting in 
book 7 are both 'very important in what Harry ends up having to do' 
according to JKR, the connection between mother and son sounds like 
the pivotal connection in the series.  The title would tie up this 
concept nicely if it refers to both the beginning and the end.
