Sorry to be a smart-arse, but the book is entitled "The Deathly 
Hallows". Does this invalidate your theory or am I just not 
following your argument somehow? 

A 'hallow' is a holy thing as in the line from the Lord's Prayer:

"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name ...."

or "Halloween" (according to Wikipedia, this is the short form of 
All-hallow-even which means the eve before All Hallow's Day, more 
modernly known as All Saints Day which means the same thing.)

So a hallowed thing is a thing that is holy. 

Snow:

Thanks for pointing out my neglect in proofing my Hallow from my 
Hollow. Let me
see if I can fix the proposal area so that it may make some sense to 
what I was saying.

My proposal therefore is: that the Deathly Hallows are good persons 
who gave their lives to evil for the greater good; sacred (hallow) 
death; empty of life (deathly) but with ability beyond the boundaries 
of death because of the way in which their life was taken...who will 
be a powerful force that will protect Harry.

How's that?
