[QUOTE="Tolen Mar, post: 2493243, member: 1295"] I too just finished it. I was reading other things when it came out and my wife read it before me. (I imagine we are about to see a new wave of speculation arise as the 'second' and 'third' round buyers finish up.) I've also just finished reading this thread. The first thing I thought when I finished it was that Dumbledore isnt dead. It was all a plot between him ans Snape to redeem Draco and draw out Voldemort from wherever he is hiding. Now Im not so sure, but I really do beleive we will see something more of Dumbledore. In regards to Harry as the 'missing' horcrux...I can see it. Even if Voldemort could sense Harry as his Horcrux. Ok, first of all, if Voldemort was there to make a Horcrux out of something in the Potter's home, anything there would have been a trophy for him. We know there were some reasons to go after James and Lilly, so lets set up to make it there and wipe them out while we are after it. Then I can take the trinket and lord over it and chuckle evilly, knowing what it meant. Now, Voldemort dies, the horcux spell backfires, and Harry becomes the Horcrux. We know that because of Snape, Voldemort went after the Potters, and that Harry was protected by Lilly's final act. That's enough in my book to make things go in an unplanned direction. Since Voldemort knows about the prophecy, and inadvertantly marked Harry (in more ways than one), he also knows how much of a threat it would be for Harry to be left alive. Horcux or not, he wants Harry dead. Or to look at it this way, if Harry ever found out that he was the last horcux, then Harry would know that the only way to truly defeat Voldemort would be to die. Better to wipe out this weak link early, before they start finding horcuxes, than wait until Harry is the only one left. If Harry should somehow become the last one, he has no control over what happens to his immortailty. Besides, if Voldemort deals with Harry early on, and he absolutely NEEDS another Horcrux, he has plenty of time to move on to the next person on his list. [/QUOTE]
