Kemper now:
More accurately, imo, James and Lily died for Harry's life while Sirius died
and Dumbledore --though I'll be the first one to say his death is
debatable-- died for the way of the Light.  Those two believe that Harry is
the great Light hope.  And for all his talk of choice and anti-prophecy
talk, Dumbledore believes that Harry is the only one that can vanquish the
Dark Lord otherwise why wouldn't he have face and fought the Dark Lord
earlier?

If Harry does die while obviously vanquishing the Dark Lord, it will serve
the literary purpose of showing the power of sacrificial love.

Or do you mean something different by 'literary purpose'?

 
Julie:
But JKR has already shown us the power of sacrificial love. Harry,
and thus the whole HP saga, exists because of it. Do we really
need Harry to die also to make that literary purpose clear? I.e.,
do we really need to be hit over the head with the same hammer
twice ;-)
 
Julie, who figures Harry's survival can serve a different literary
purpose, since "the power of sacrificial love" is already taken.
