Deathly Hallows plot bunny

Probably because I recently bought the DVD and saw the last film in the cinema this year.

Now we all know that DH could easily have been entitled "In which Harry Potter learns a great deal that he has never previously been told and now cannot check back", and a whole lot of threads came up that hadn't really reared their ugly heads until well into HBP.

Which got me to thinking, let's imagine that we have Harry and Hermione standing in the graveyard at Godric's Hollow. Everything up to that moment, from Harry's (and in broad also the reader's) perspective, is as it has been in canon. And then, instead of what is actually written upon his parents' graves in canon ("The last enemy which will be conquered is Death" IIRC), he finds the following:


"And with strange aeons, even Death may die."


The implications are obvious to anyone familiar with the quote*. Of all the things for Dumbledore not to tell him...



* And for anyone who's not, it's HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.
