Sorry, fellow PotterHeads, that I once again suffer you with my
ramblings


My understanding is that when we read literature we are very much
playing the part of God, in that we actually exist outside of the
timeline that is part of the story.  My belief is that GOD is all
powerful, and HE created the Physical Universe.  For the physical
universe to exist, you must have both the variables of time and space. 
For something to take up space (have physical existence) you must also
have time in which that existence takes place, and vice versa.

Through GOD's design of creating physical life, he needed the
subsequent action of physical death.  This means he needed a directive,
so to speak.  This would be the fallen angel, Lucifer, who took the form
of the serpent and is the Prince of darkness, Ruler of death, etc, etc. 
GOD also gave Lucifer the ability to have physical form , since physical
life was now considered `the fallen angel's' realm.  Now,
while he cannot take an exact form, he can possess actual physical
bodies.  So while, we as humans have this physical life, in the end, we
must forfeit the physical life to physical death.

So what gets us out of bed, then?  Stories such as these.  Harry gives
us hope that through good actions we can have a better life.  Through
stories such as that Jesus paid the ultimate price in suffering for us,
gives us hope.  Hope for what?  That we can trust ourselves that we can
take the gift of live and of free-will and make it part of our own
experience.  That was the true intention of creating life, for it to
make the most of its existence.  Therefore, the more we defy death (and
desire for death and/or Satan) the more we glorify life:  our existence.
