Tonks:
Yes, I agree. I have thought all along that HRH represent one person. 
ID, Superego, Ego, as you say. At the same time they can represent the  
body, mind and soul. But either way, they must all sink or swin 
together. This is why I think Hermione will not die. And if a virgin 
sacrifice is necessary for some reason, it will be (sad to say) Ginny. 
I don't know it will be a necessary part of the formular to distroy LV, 
but if it is, McGonagall might also fit the bill. (I think this because 
her name means "wisdom". Long reason, won't go into it now.)

I like the idea of decending into the subconscious. I need to keep 
reading this, ever so strange, book of the lecture notes of Carl Jung. 
I am sure the answer to HP is in there somewhere.
