Message: <blockquote data-quote="Randolpho" data-source="post: 3559554" data-attributes="member: 3016">Ever since the pensive scene in Order of the Phoenix, I've been expecting this to happen. *Willing* it to happen. I have been foiled twice. Third time's' charm?Still, the more I think about it, the more I think maybe not. Snape has always been a tragic character... I think he will end up dead, and only after he's dead (either by Harry's hand or by some noble sacrifice he makes) will Harry discover (perhaps from Dumbledore's journal or Headmaster portrait) that Snape was acting on Dumbledore's request when he killed him. If Harry never discovers this he will simply never forgive Snape. In the unlikely event that Snape lives, he would *have* to go to jail -- he *did* off Dumbledore, after all. Good or bad, he's in over his head. Ultimately, however, I think the peace or understanding between former enemies will be between Harry and Draco. Harry will not forget that Draco couldn't kill Dumbledore, and I think that, more than anything, will lead to truce between them. Regarding horcruxes, Harry is definitely *not* a horcrux. He was the death that would have *made* a horcrux, not the horcrux himself. I will be very surprised indeed if Harry dies. With the exception of one or two introductory scenes per book, the entire series takes place from Harry's point of view. It never jumps to Ron and his thoughts, or Hermione's -- it's always centered on Harry. How would she go about describing Harry's death? No, more likely, it's Ginny that dies. A few "ultimate" fates:Harry: Defeats Voldemort, but at what cost! He never marries after the death of Ginny, and in fact disappears for more than a decade after the events of Deathly Gallows. It takes him a *long* time to get over her death. But... he eventually accepts it, and asks Headmistress McGonagall for a job as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Eventually he becomes Headmaster himself, living longer and happier (if that's possible) than Dumbledore. Ron: Marries Hermione, but they have a very rocky relationship, and Victor Krum comes up more than once in their arguments. Flunks out of Auror training, but eventually becomes a famous Quidditch player (MVP of the Chudley Cannons), leading them to their first league championship in a hundred years, and eventually to the World Cup.Hermione: Marries Ron, but rocky relationship, blah, blah blah. She takes SPEW one step further and works as a lobbyist for magical creature's rights, becoming a defacto ambassador between the ministry and elves, goblins, centaurs, and numerous other magical yet sentient creatures. Draco: Becomes Minister of Magic.</blockquote>
