Ssome livess I have already promissed you, but otherss I did not. . . For each unknown power you tell me how to masster, or other ssecret you tell me that I desire to know, you may name one more of thosse to insstead be protected and honored under my reign. Thiss alsso I promisse and intend to keep.
Is Harry permitted to name himself as a person to be protected? It doesn’t seem to say that he cannot. I believe partial transfiguration would buy him a life. It’s an unsatisfying solution, as it only saves Harry. But then again, the exam only requires Harry to survive.
He’s not permitted. LV said “name one or more of those”, where those refers to the people he named in the previous sentence, i.e. Harry’s parents and his “mudblood friends” in the armies.
Surely other lives are permitted though, such as Neville. Voldemort said specifically: “Your mudblood servants in your little army. Your precious parents.” That would exclude Neville (who isn’t muggle-born) and Cedric (who isn’t in Harry’s army).
