Interesting idea.  Especially because I would wager that Voldemort 
also considers Hogwarts to be hallowed ground.  We have heard before 
how similar Harry and Tom Riddle are.

I know a lot of Potter fans have thought through the years that there 
must be some climactic battle at Hogwarts.  I wonder if HBP satisfies 
this requirement?  Does it count if Voldemort isn't even there?  
Without Dumbledore there, what becomes of Hogwarts in Book 7?  

I definitely agree that nothing in HBP bodes well for Hogwarts in Book 
7.  Deathly Hallows = Hogwarts?  I am not sure I love the idea, but I 
guess it would fit.
