The Scar

Jim Ferer (me): I've always had in mind a much harder sacrifice than
mere physical life; Harry would make that without hesitation. I once
thought that
Harry would have to give up his ability to do magic and become a
Muggle in order to destroy Voldemort. There would be an awful dilemna.

Doug:  "That said, and it has been a suspicion all along too, what
would Muggle!Harry's consequent choice be? To live a live amongst us
knowing there is a far more fascinating world elsewhere, or to live in
the world of Magic with no powers? In a world were he is unknown and
has to make a brand new human life from scratch? or stay in the world
where he has history, identity, and friends?

Either way he is 'dead' to us."

It may be more poignant for Harry to have to live in the Muggle world,
but there is a good chance that he, like Squibs, could live in the
magical world and be surrounded at last by love not for the skills he
no longer has but for himself. Having love with Ginny, if she
survives, and all the people he's grown close to will be his reward. 

Or he may, like Frodo, have to lose what he saved for others.

Harry just dying seems anti-climactic.
