Hello,
Have just updated my website with some further ideas on the ending of
Deathly Hallows which I thought might be of interest to some of you.
:--)
In particular, my theory...
a) Contains (what I hope is) a time-travel scenario based on the
principles of POA21- nothing happens which has not (in a sense) already
happened ("you must not be seen", etc.) but something important is
*achieved* nonetheless...
b) Attempts to tackle JKR's "crucial and central question" from
2004 of why *both* Harry & Voldemort survived the Killing Curse.
c) Includes the invisibility cloak (never asked question?) and
non-verbal spells.
d) Features the brother wands, Fawkes the Phoenix and Harry's scar.
e) Involves Harry's (past and future) defeats of Voldemort (on a single
night).
f) Intends to address Harry's 'phoenix-like' survival, death and (sort
of!) immortality.
Plus:
g) Snape gets a posthumous payoff.
h) Wormtail's debt is paid - but not by dying.

Anyway, two versions are available for your perusal. The first one:
http://book7.co.uk/sixteen/ <http://book7.co.uk/sixteen/> is compatible
with Horcrux!Harry; the new alternative:
http://book7.co.uk/second-sight/ <http://book7.co.uk/second-sight/>
does not require that Harry's scar is a Horcrux.
I would of course be very interested in any feedback (if you have time)
especially on the whole concept of time-travel in the Potterverse & how
it is handled. I also postulate a HBP!Dumbledore time-traveling in DH

P.S. Those who've visited before will know that the site is written as a
'synopsis' of book 7 - sort of an attempt to create a 'theory of
everything' (O that 'twere possible!) - based on canon, JKR quotes and
fan discussions, but necessarily involving a certain amount of artistic
license. The approach has disadvantages but (hopefully!) some advantages
as well, as it aims for coherence & is concerned with the overall
implications of individual theories. Make of it what you will...!
