Well I think the essence of it is that he didn't live because he expected to die; he lived because of his blood and Lily's protection being in Voldemort, which still tied him to the earth.

He needed to believe he was going to die, to have accepted death, to become the master of death. Plus, it secured the protection around the students a la Lily.

Arrow Re: Horcruxes. The remaining.

Still ticks me off that harry ended up being a horcux. I don't think I'll ever get over it.*grumbles* but If he hadn't been he woulda died at the end so I guess I can't stay totally against the whole thing.

I do think the last book is the best of them all though.X)

I, along with others, would have been fine if he had died.

Re: Horcruxes. The remaining.

Huh wasnt it obvious that Harry never really died. Voldy bassically killed his own horcrux,he killed the part of his own soul within harry, never harry own soul, therefore harry did not die.

Although when a soul is ripped out of you it's probably not healthy, even if it isn't your own.
