    Randy:

>> I think this may be a possible ending for Book Seven.  A 
dead Voldemort forces Harry to be considered a murderer, but an 
eternally trapped Voldy is much more effective.  Harry will not 
have become a trained assassin as his legacy from Hogwarts.


Clare:
Murderer?  My grandfather isn't alive anymore, so I shall take offence  on 
his behalf.  He killed a great many people during WW2, having been in  most of 
the major battles.  
   
  Catherine now:
   
  I have to agree whole-heartedly with Clare on this and add a little something. There is a big difference between killing in war-time and murder. Yes, Harry will have to plan and "pre-meditate" how to kill Voldemort. You don't just off the most powerful evil wizard of all time without a plan. That's plain stupid. But this is still WAR. And killing Voldemort will SAVE a lot of people, so I really don't understand the "Harry-can't -be-a-murderer" camp. Personally I think it would be irresponsible for Harry (a.k.a. Prophesy Boy) not to kill Voldemort. He's been destined to do it, so get on with it and do it. And I doubt I'll shed a tear for Voldemort either, JKR would have to really pull something out of her hat to make me feel for Him. 
   
  In any case, for those who fear for Harry's soul, think of it this way: Voldemort isn't even human anymore. He has torn himself away from humanity willingly, using the killing of others to his advantage. The bible allows for killing in self-defense, defending your family or your country. Harry killing Voldemort falls in to all three of those things. Is it really murder to prepare yourself against a person who has tried to kill you 6 times and once as a baby? Would you feel better if Voldemort popped out from behind a bookshelf at Floorish and Blotts and Harry killed him inadvertently by dropping a piano on his head? Harry has already killed Quirrell, without splitting his soul, although that was luck. He will kill Voldemort, without damaging his soul, and hopefully surviving to lead a long and happy life with Ginny, have 12 kids and become minister for Magic!

  (Hoping that another one of Trelawny's predictions comes true!)
