Jen: It was written in Dumbledore's writing, Harry recognized it when 
he received it from Scrimgeour.  I think that was DD trying to save 
Harry from his own mistakes, knowing he would be tempted by the 
Resurrection Stone most out of all because of what Harry saw in the 
Mirror.  So it was a safeguard to keep Harry from using the Stone at 
the wrong time for the wrong reason.

Jen:  I guess that was his reward for being more clever than the 
other two. ;)  Actually, it fits in well with what Harry has to do 
because the third brother chooses death when he has the choice to 
live forever and hide from death.  So he's actually being called the 
bravest one in that respect, to choose death when he didn't have to 
die.

Jen: Me too!  Loved how the real Hallows played out too, that Harry 
united them because he wasn't seeking them. Also how he was tempted 
to find the Elder wand before LV until grief for Dobby changed his 
course.
