but I don’t think that would actually have worked to justify Harry’s future actions to the reader.
I don’t think it works if what EY is making a statement against Death, which it seems to me he is. Rationality is all fine and dandy, but I think it’s window dressing on the main theme of the value of Life and the horror of Death. The best, the brightest, the most loved, the least deserving of it will die with all the rest. So, Hermione dies.
