Zara:
This may seem like a nitpick, for which I apologize in advance, but I 
actually think it is an important point. Harry's willing death was not 
needed. His unwilling death would have sufficed to eliminate the soul 
bit/Horcrux that was in Harry. It seemed to me that Albus's grand plan 
was not about that, it was about defeating Voldemort while giving Harry 
the best chance Albus could create to help Harry survive.
