On horcruxes and the saving of souls

Nov 28, 2005 21:12

It was sunny and the grounds around him were full of laughing people, and even though he felt as distant from them as though he belonged to a different race, it was still very hard to believe as he sat here that his life must include, or end in, murder....

OotP, 855-856

( The purpose of this (rather scattered and informal, forgive me) essay is to refute this statement of Harry's from OotP, and deal with the fallout from the conclusion that Harry can't possibly murder someone, even Voldemort. )

You mean Voldemort's just going to die after Harry destroys the remainng horcruxes?

Ah, I see. But the protection coming from his mother will no longer be effective after he's seventeen, so unless Harry hunts down four remaining horcruxes and faces off with Voldemort in the space of a month, I don't see how he could live through an AK. He might save Ginny, but he'd most likely die in the process.

Ah, the Hamlet ending :D

I'm still not sure I see how an AK could bounce off Harry if he no longer has his mother's protection
