Well, of course there are ways - like Harry being involved in some 
important political causes, etc, on the other hand I completely 
disagree and I am not sure if this is what you are saying, please 
disregard if you are not. I completely disagree that if Harry 
survives, that the only convincing way of existance for him would be 
to become second Frodo. There are different ways of reacting to 
trauma, and yes, I do think that it is possible to write 
convincingly Harry surviving and being Okay and happy for the most 
part - influenced by experiences, grown up,etc, but not necessarily 
broken man.

IMO of course.
