Dondee: Interesting thought, but it doesn't jibe with the 
prophesy "...and either must die at the hand of the other..." Your 
theory is Voldie being killed by his own hand not Harry's. Also, no 
sound comes from the mirror - big giveaway that it's not really 
Harry.

I like the idea of Voldie dying because of his own cruelty and 
arrogance - and in a way he will, because of his unwillingness and 
inability to love.

Cheers, Dondee
