but didn't dare to tell Harry, just as he couldn't bring himself to
tell about the prophecy. Maybe DD hoped to find a way to remove the
soul bit first. It is not easy to tell a 15-year old boy that he has
to kill or be killed. It is much more difficult to tell him that he
must die in order to succeed.

Heaven forfend! If Dumbledore suspected any such thing, surely he
would have told Harry rather than misleading him into thinking that he
knows all the remaining Horcurxes (the cup, the locket, the snake,
something from Gryffindor or Ravenclaw). Easy or not, Dumbledore would
have done what was right--and I believe that he did so. BTW, Harry is
sixteen, not fifteen, during HBP, and DD says that he's told Harry
everything that he knows or suspects about Horcruxes. It's only Snape
that he still conceals information about.

And if Harry has to be killed to defeat Voldemort, exactly how is that
supposed to work? If Harry!Horcrux dies first, he can't kill
Voldemort. If Harry!Horcrux "kills" Voldemort but is still alive
himself, Voldemort will become Vapormort and the process will start
all over again. *If* Harry is a Horcrux and is actually carrying a
soul bit rather than merely some of LV's powers, then he will have to
be de-Horcruxed--the soul bit destroyed to make Voldemort mortal and
Harry still alive to kill or destroy Voldemort.

Personally, I think Harry will use the one Voldie!power he's not yet
aware that he, erm, possesses--possession--to force Voldie through the
Veil. I think that, like the heroes of mythology, Harry will enter the
Underworld (or, in his case, the world beyond the Veil) and return
again. Unlike Sirius Black, who died as a result of entering that
world, he will return because his own body will have been left behind.

Carol, who thinks that the Horcruxes are what DD says they are and
that Harry will defeat LV and live to tell the tale to his grandchildren
