Blood, Life Debt, and LV

If what we call the `life debt' is part of the ancient magic or
part of the fabric of the universe and can not be tampered with,
perhaps we need to look at LV and Harry's blood again.

It does seem that LV is in a bad place with a hand from PP and the
blood of HP. Now I think that JKR has said that the life debt does
not kick in when someone saves a friend or someone that they like.
I think it kicks in when there is some `enemy' component to the
relationship. Perhaps it also kicks in when one forgives an enemy.

With all of this in mind, I do not think that Harry has to kill to
destroy LV. I have always said that Harry will not kill. I think
we are going to see the "other ways to destroy a man". When I heard
that phrase, I assumed some horrible method know to Wizards and
Muggles alike, but now I am starting to wonder if DD was referring
to something else that like the ancient magic LV has forgotten or
overlooked.

Let's look at this bit by bit and then find someway to put it all
together. I am not professing to have an answer, just stirring the
cauldron for others to contemplate. I am just thinking as I go
here


"The hand of the other". Does this have anything to do with PP's
hand? I know this has been brought up before. Now look at Harry's
blood. It is not only the blood with Lily's protection in it, it is
the blood of the one who spared PP. There must be some twist to
the `bond' and life debt idea that we have not been told yet that
will be a big "ah-ha!" once we hear about it. That little bit of
knowledge is what put the gleam in DD's eye. This is as far as I
can take this thought for now


The other thing that I am pondering is this. What will happen if in
someway the horcruxes are destroyed and LV is at Harry's mercy and
Harry lets him go? I know this seems crazy. Yes LV can make more
horcruxes later, but in that moment he can't so he will be stuck at
Harry mercy. What will happen if Harry spares LV's life? Harry's
greatest asset is his ability to Love. Love also implies other
things as well. Love has the ability to have mercy, to have
forgiveness.

Thoughts?
