Alla:

I did not, although had it been alive Lily I may have.

What is resurrection stone Lily? If she is just the shadow of the 
alive one, wouldn't it mean that it is half of happening in Harry's 
head anyways?

So of course he would imagine his parents and godfather supporting 
him, to give himself extra courage etc?

If this was a full soul of Lily, meaning that she shares all the 
thoughts of the alive one, wouldn't she see that Harry is set on his 
task and to support him is better than to cry?

Potioncat:
<SNIP>

But even Lily, James, and Sirius expect Harry to risk the sacrifice.
It's what they did.

Alla:

See above. It is just a different issue to me from Snape being 
Harry's "protector", that's all.

JMO,

Alla
