For the record, I couldn't agree more!  I was discussing this with my
husband and kids in the car this afternoon and they all (kids
especially) were horrified at the thought that Harry would lose his
power.  My son seemed to think that this would be such a punitive
outcome that death would be preferable (to Harry) as the magical
community is so important to him because he doesn't have anything
else.  Repeatedly, Harry has put everything on the line to keep his
ability to use magic and remain within Hogwarts.  Harry also doesn't
seem to fear death; he reminisces at one point that at least he would
be with Sirius.  Losing your identity is a fate worse than death to
many people.  Harry doesn't deserve that at all.
