I had also been thinking about the whole "Harry
killing" idea being
quite upsetting. That got me thinking- we have to, to
a certain
extent, assume that Voldemort has somehow done himself
in by using
Harry's blood- that detail, combined with the gleam of
triumph just
seems too random and disconnected to be irrelevant. I
(and anyone who
believes the same) might be completely wrong on this
point, but I do
honestly believe that it indicates an unforseen glitch
in Voldie's
plans. The question obviously then becomes how? I like
the ideas you
presented, and they tie in pretty well with what I
thought.

I hadn't
thought of the idea that they might be strengthening
"in tendem"
although I really like that idea. But what made me
think was the
comment on "Harry killing". I don't think it is by any
means outside
the realm of possibility that JK might have Harry kill
either LV, one
(or more) of his followers, or any combination- but
wouldn't it be
interesting and unexpected if the blood connection is
the thing that
kills LV, and not Harry himself- or even a person?
What if, when that
final moment comes, somehow Harry's blood coursing
through his vains
causes some kind of magical 'short' (I'm not even
going to begin to
try to theorize on what kind of 'short', so I'll
generalize) and THAT
causes you-know-who to expire? That's just basically building on what 
you said, but I honestly think this is an avenue worth exploring.

The other theory (however unpleasant) is that JK might
Kill Harry off
in the last book somehow. Personally, I don't see it
happening, but
there is the possibility. What if, as LV tries to kill
Harry again,
he does- but because of the blood bond, it somehow
kills him, too? I
know the prophecy says that neither can live while the
other survives
(paraphrasing) but it doesn't say that one HAS to
live, and one HAS
to die. They could both die. And if the blood bond
somehow links
their fates, it could mean that we might see an echo
of Voldemort's
first attempt on Harry's life, and it might end up
backfiring on him
again, only with much more effecacy this time. In
fact, it doesn't
mean Harry even has to die- it could just mean that as
LV tries to
kill Harry, the bond prevents it and ends up killing
him, instead.
I'm sure this is by no means a new theory, it's just
new to me;-) I'm
just thinking that somehow by having Harry's blood in
him, killing
Harry might be like trying to kill himself- or rather,
trying to kill
his life source. Could it be that because Harry's
blood played a key
part in bringing him to life, that that life is now
dependant on the
survival of the source of that blood?

Just a thought, and thanks for a well thought out response.
