Kemper now:
I agree with the story being about good and evil, but the story isn't about
love and hate; it's about love and fear.

But I don't understand what you are saying with regards to Harry's possible
death.  Are you saying that JKR wouldn't write Harry's death while allowing
a victorious Voldemort because Love loses?
I would agree with you on this.

Or are you saying that JKR wouldn't write Harry's death, vanquished Dark
Lord or not, because to you that means Love loses?
I would disagree on this.  Love doesn't fear Death.  In our western mythos
there's this one guy who is alleged to have died so that others could
live... though it was for an eternal life rather than an ephemeral,
earthly one.
