Brothergib -
I agree that Harry will not become a murderer. It is interesting to 
wonder how Snape will react to this. I agree that Snape hates 
Voldemort more than anyone else. I also think his role is to remove 
all the obstacles in Harry's way (i.e. Horcruxes) to allow Harry a 
chance to kill Voldemort. If Harry then chooses not to kill 
Voldemort, do we think that Snape will try himself....'The one with 
the power to defeat the Dark Lord approaches'....Yes, he's standing 
outside listening to this actually!!>

Brothergib again:
I also wondered about this, particularly since the Minister for Magic 
was so shocked that they would attack a boy! JKR once said that the 
events at Godric's Hollow are the key to the series, and I have to 
admit that I haven't heard a satisfactory answer yet.
Evidence suggests that it was the AK spell that Voldemort fired at 
Harry. But if it rebounded and 'killed' Voldemort, how did it destroy 
the house? And if the spell was blocked by Lily's sacrifice, why is 
there an enduring link between LV and HP? Why does all the other 
evidence suggest that some piece of LV still resides in HP (e.g. 
sorting hat suggesting Slytherin/dementors attracted to HP)?

Very confusing!!
