bboyminn:
Yes and No. 'The Boy Who Lived' is really 'the boy who
was hit with an AK curse and lived'. Harry was hit twice
(Godrics Hollow and Forbidden Forest) with an AK and
lived to tell the tale, and twice more the unblockable
AK curse was cast against him, and he still survived
(graveyard and final battle).
It is not significant that Harry lived and continues
to live, because Ron lived and continues to live,
Neville lived and continues to live. Harry is only
'The Boy Who Lived' because he shouldn't have lived
and he shouldn't continue to live because he was hit
with the AK.
But he does, so he is.
