va32h:

I liked and disliked that scene.  Harry as a willing sacrifice?  Fine,
good, touching etc.  His parents rooting him on?  Turned my stomach. 
 Maybe that just says something about me as a mom - I'd be hugging my
babies and saying "let somebody else save the world!"  Even Jesus
asked "why Father why?"  

I think James, Sirius and Lily could have a tad less enthusiasm for
sending Harry to his death, is all I'm saying.
