The word "hallow" means to venerate or show great respect for.  I'm 
wondering if the title might refer to Harry going up against death, 
trying to set things right for his loved ones who have died.  
Also, "All Hallows Eve" refers both to showing respect for the dead 
and when the dead once again walk among the living.  Perhaps the dead, 
including Harry's parents, will return, Harry will face death himself, 
and all will be resolved in terms of Voldemort and the people who 
Harry has lost.  I expect that Harry will survive and will emerge from 
the series as a great hero and vanquisher of evil.

Best Wishes,
Marilyn
