fuscia said this in post #8 : How could Harry ever be the same after killing Voldemort? We know that some of his friends will most likely die, so he will be a changed man after this happens.
I think that if Harry survives, he'll have what I call, Frodo-Baggins-itas. He just won't be the same (obviously), and I doubt that he will be able to stay in the magical world. Being the whole savior for an entire world, albeit a little known world, is pretty heavy. And it wouldn't be that he would want to leave the family and friends he has left, but he just won't be able to. At least not at first. I think that Harry, if he survives, will move into the Muggle world at first. He might go back to the magic world, but I doubt it.
A conservative man is a man who sits and thinks... mostly sits.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I've not thought about it in that sense.. but, you're right. It will be hard, for him, with the deaths of so many that he loves, and knowing that he HAD to kill someone, even if they ARE evil, to the core... it's going to change him, completely. But, in the end, he will find balance... even if that balance is with Ginny. Somewhere/someone, will give him that much needed balance, and he will be okay, someday.

I think Harry will survive but when he VANQUISHES MouldieWart they might both lose their power. I believe Harry wont stoop to the level of killing, and that'll be the thing that does the Dark Lord in (possibly sending him to St Mungo's)
Voldamort would become a martyr if he died so to utterly defeat him and render him harmless so that the whole wizarding world to see and feel safe, Harry must not kill him as "there are worse things than death!" which I think for the Dark Lord would be to be completely powerless in the wizarding world so that even Squibs could push him around!
Your idea about Voldemort having no powers in a world of wizards is fantastic. Unfortunately, I think with all the deaths that are occuring to characters in the books... people will be after He Who Must Not Be Named's blood...
