MOST everyone will have observed that for Harry the lives and happiness of his FRIENDS (he's fresh out of relatives) are of ULTIMATE importance.  The character we have become familiar with would NOT consider his death to be much of a sacrifice to end the terror of Voldemort. Therefore I believe the loss of his friends (as already promised) will be the worst he will/can suffer.

("There are things more important than death"--a MAJOR difference between Harry/Dumbledore and Voldy, and--for those who have eyes to see--a MAJOR clue for DH and the role of Severus Snape).

...and while I'm getting biblical PLEASE do not confuse the
sacrifices of Jesus/Aslam with anything that might happen to Harry.
Unless you consider Harry DIVINE (and hopefully there aren't many of
you out there) the comparison is invalid.
