Goddlefrood;
Having looked over the original theory, I must say it seems
inordinately unlikely to me. Lord Voldemort may be arguably
certifiable, but he's not dumb. In order to kill himself with
an AK reflecting from the Mirror of Erised he'd have to be one
of the world's greatest suckers, and, well, he simply is not.
Additionally the Mirror of Erised is an inanimate object and all
the inanimate objects we have so far seen hit by AKs (think of
the Magical Brethren in the MoM or the masonry the blond Death
Eater took large chunks out of during the field day at Hogwarts)
have smashed. Why would the Mirror of Erised be any different?
In my opinion it would simply be obliterated and shatter into
many disparate parts were an AK to hit it.
The idea that a rebounding curse may finish off LV is not wholly
without its merit, but the idea that this would be a rebounding
AK off anything but an animate being is one that is rather too
much to swallow.
It's actually rather unlikely, IMO, that LV will be finished by
any kind of hate spell, but rather more likely, in my divination,
that a love spell would finish him. It is those I expect Harry
to become familiar with somewhere during the course of DH and
I'd go further and say that it will be something that is based
on the use of Dragon's blood. Not unlinked to the protections
placed on him by a certain Lily Potter, with a little help from
the man in charge, one Albus Dumbledore.
Lily found out about the ancient magic, as LV called it, from
someone, who better than DD? Or perhaps, as has been stated
earlier, the spell to neutralise LV will be the one DD used
in the Atrium during their discourse. That spell is not one
that can be lightly disregarded in the overall scheme of things,
and if we hear a gong to sound LV's downfall, then I for one
would not be completely taken aback.
btw, Dumbledore is dead, dead, dead, sorry, but possibly not
totally without his uses.
Unless of course I've misunderstood you.
