Harry Potter and the End Game

There has been a lot of talk here about minions and how there are 
not many really capable players on either side.  That made me think 
back to the chess game theories that came up some time back.  I am 
not a good chess player, but I am sure that there are a few here 
that are.  The Auror office will recruit you for this mission. So 
all of you Master Chess player lurkers come on out and have a go. 
Let's look at the chess board again and figure out who is what 
player on both sides of the board.  Assuming that DD is not the 
King, because if he is it is already Checkmate.  So it must be LV is 
the black King and Harry is the white?? 

Also I think, as someone else here said, that the Mirror of Erised 
will play a part in the end.  As a child Harry's deepest desire was 
to see his parents, but as a young man it will be different. Now he 
wants to vanquish LV. 

Hats off to Sydney for that very good post on why Snape would take 
the vow.  Puts LV in a tight place.  Now he can't kill Draco without 
Snape dying.  Good one!!

  is "Coolio" a new spell?  I like it. We can use it in the 
summer when the air conditioner goes out.
