Oh, that gives me an IDEA. 

I'm rereading OotP, and we all know the "Two-Book Rule." 

I am reminded of the DE whose head gets shoved into the Big Jar of 
Time, and his head transforms into a baby's head, then progresses to 
a man's head, and back again. 

What if Harry, having been thoroughly devestated and emotionally 
battered by his life, goes back and tries it again? 

What if Harry jumps into the Big Jar of Time, pre-gresses to get rid 
of his VoldyScar (thus releasing the last Horcrux by making it as 
though it never happened?), and is raised from infancy in a loving, 
wizard household? 

That would satisfy the hero's journey that, at the end, the hero 
like so many before him (Frodo, etc.,) dies or "goes West?" Rides 
into the sunset? 

Do you think Molly Weasley could take on one last baby? 

"And this time, Harry Potter had no scar." (Somewhere near the end, 
now.)
