I still like the idea of Snape being saved at the last minute by 
Neville. It would be the ultimate pay-back--Snape having to live with 
the thought that he owes a life debt to Neville Longbottom.

I also like the idea of him turning out to be not only DDM but 
Harry's cousin on the distaff side. Interesting excuse for 
rapprochement, and Harry would learn the reasons (besides Snape's 
hatred of James) for all the sniping, detentions, and other meanness 
during Harry's stay at Hogwarts. Also what really happened that night 
on the Astronomy Tower.

La Gatta Lucianese:

See my last post. I think dying is too good for Voldemort. I don't 
think it's Harry's place to kill him, any more than it was Frodo's to 
kill Gollum, though Harry may want to out of pity when he sees what 
Voldemort has become. 

I doubt Harry is a Horcrux; this has been argued against well and 
thoroughly in previous posts.

I don't think Harry will turn into Frodo Potter. He has too much 
resilience. If nothing else, his horrible childhood has taught him to 
bounce back. Perhaps that's why he's such a good dementor fighter.
