Interesting reply Lyn, thanks.  I definitely need to re-read, and 
should be doing so instead of agonizing over explanations and 
theories. ;-)

However, I do feel Harry does win because of LV weakness. It may not 
be the only reason but it's the primary reason. LV overlooked so much 
as all Evil Masterminds do. He underestimates just about everyone and 
arrogantly (and greedily) uses Harry blood which leads directly to 
his own downfall. Harry won because LV weakened himself. And how else 
could a relatively inexperience young man hope to beat such an 
greatly experienced and evil enemy? By counting on LV's weaknesses.

But then perhaps I'm too cynical. :-) I have a dark sensibility akin 
to Kneasy's. Not nearly enough people died imo.

Ah well, back to the book for a re-read... and I'll certainly keep 
your thoughts in mind.
