Man I should have put these in separate posts since R hasn’t read hp6 yet and keeps clicking on these comments and closing the window in horror. “I read something… about snape… and … dumbledore…”

Sure, why not? (on Harry = Horcrux.) It would lead to a very satisfyingly horrible ending where Harry is forced to destroy himself in order to destroy Voldemort, or some beautiful redemptive ending where he manages to make it so he doesn’t have to destroy himself (he finds some loophole involving the ability to love; he turns V over to the Light; he goes through a horrible exorcism but emerges Chistlike from the bloody mire). Ok I’m going a little overboard there but you know what I mean. Aslan-like? Ok. I mean that makes sense, right, if you were an evil overlord (haha) and wanted to ensure your survival and one dude was prophecied to kill you, you’d make it so that dude would have to destroy himself to destroy you too, in the hopes of buying some more time while he mulls over the terrible decision, or swaying him to your side, or whatever. Also the “i could hear him” stuff and the scar pulsing and stuff. I remember him talking about the “i could hear his thoughts” stuff in the end of hp6, but I don’t remember what he said about it. Or was that “i could hear him” stuff explained by some other phenomenon already? I can’t remember
