Alla:

I am snipping the whole discussion since I am in complete agreement 
with Julie, but wanted to add something about Harry is living now. I 
believe that JKR also thinks that Harry is not truly living now, and 
if Prophecy indeed relates to Harry, then neither can live while the 
other survives may support this.

If one has the burden to save the world and himself from the maniac, 
I do not think he has the lugury to live fully, to enjoy life, etc.

He could not even enjoy relationship with Ginny, he broke up with 
her in his mind, because that would be putting her in danger. If 
sixteen year old has to think that his girlfriend can be killed if 
they continue their relationship, how is that can be called truly 
living the life?

At least not in my opinion.

Oh, and I am also betting that if Harry survives, he would not be an 
Auror, I believe he would feel that he had enough dark wizards 
hunting.

Again IMO.


Alla, who believes and want to see Harry survive and live long happy 
life besides the pages of the book, whether we see it or not. :)
