Doddie here:

I remember Harry making a "for once" sort of statement at the end of 
DH...Harry finally found something that was "more trouble than it 
was worth"...He also set the stage to keep the Malfoy's in check
(probably not purposefully, yet he did nonetheless)...  I also get 
the picture that after DH...

1. Harry was ready to live his life w/o saving the world 
distractions. 

2. Harry probably returned Draco's wand which, while would be loyal 
and do Draco's bidding; but, would not bring about the downfall of 
Harry...but would snap as his fathers had... Perhaps Draco, given 
his father's wand's fate may have thought this could happen; even if 
Malfoy didn't, I'm sure we could count on Lucius' cautions... I like 
to think that the Malfoys would be last on the list to get new wands 
from Olivander.

3. W/O the elderwand...what's the point of defeating Harry if he 
returned Draco's wand after he repaired his Holly/Phoenix one? I 
suppose one would have to defeat Draco after going through Lucius 
and Narcissa--one thing we do know is that dear ol' Lucius and Cissy 
do love their boy--Narcissa to the point of lying to Voldemort..Then 
they'd(be far from an individual by that point) have to enter 
Hogwarts grounds, raid a tomb on Hogwarts grounds....before going on 
to to defeat Harry! Wow! NOW we know perhaps one of the reasons why 
DD wanted to be laid to rest at Hogwarts...not to protect the 
elderwand, but to protect Harry not before, but rather after, Harry 
returned the Elder Wand to where Harry felt it rightfully belonged.

4. I also think we oft forget those "civillians" that stormed the 
gates after they thought Harry had died meant that there were many 
of the ww that saw the defeat!  Wow, can you just imagine the lay 
wizard....Harry was such a great Wizard he deafeated Voldy 
with, "Expelliarmus" LOL! Brilliant! So here we have Harry defeating 
Voldemort with the most basic of dueling spells...can you imagine if 
he had the twins "jinx list" of spells(which he, or at least Ron 
probably did). Harry defeated Voldemort in the final battle w/o an 
unforgivable..

However, I suppose my main point is....if Harry's mum died for 
Harry's protection...and it worked....and Harry truly felt he died 
to save everone in the ww...how much of a dangerous profession could 
he have?

(who thinks that this protection may not last forever, but would 
probably last as long as Harry lived).
