Frodo was not so much broken as changed. Changed so much he did not
fit in Hobbiton any more. He had seen so much more, experienced so
much more, and the short occupation the Shire had seen was nothing
compared to the years of hardship and horror he had had. There is also
the change the ring wrought. Now Harry was changed by LV at age one.
The change is not only different, some powers and a connection instead
of a constant lure and seduction, he has grown up with it. Apart from
his first year he never experienced the world without it. Besides,
though he may have experienced and will experience much more hardship
than the general population of the WW there is happening enough of
gruesomeness for the world for him to stay a part in it. Besides, he
has had awful and life changing things happening to him in all books
and he still is a normal person. So why would the last book suddenly
make that big a difference? Only if Jo kills of everybody he loved or
something like that, and I don't think she'll go that far. So I think
it will be a happy ending for Harry.
