\\\"... Is she a Christian?
\\\'Yes, I am,\\\' she says. \\\'Which seems to offend the religious right far worse than if I said I thought there was no God. Every time I\\\'ve been asked if I believe in God, I\\\'ve said yes, because I do, but \\\'\\\'\\\'no one ever really has gone any more deeply into it than that,\\\'\\\'\\\' and I have to say \\\'\\\'\\\'that does suit me, because if I talk too freely about that I think the intelligent reader,\\\'\\\'\\\' whether 10 or 60, \\\'\\\'\\\'will be able to guess what\\\'s coming in the books\\\'\\\'\\\'.\\\" - [[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2000/1000-vancouversun-wyman.htm]]
I bring that up because I think it\\\'s important here. Rowling was making a point that fighting back in any form is not willing sacrifice for others. She\\\'s almost directly referencing that when Jesus was nailed to the cross, he could have come down off the cross unharmed and smitten his tormentors and executioners for their sin against God (if you happen to believe that he was the son of God as Christians are wont to do). Instead, he allowed himself to be killed on the cross to conquer death and so on. [[spoiler:Harry does this at the end of DH]] and Lily does it for Harry. She asks Voldemort to take her instead of Harry. She doesn\\\'t fight back, she stands between Voldemort and Harry and she died.
[[spoiler:In DH, Harry does the same thing. He doesn\\\'t fight back. He goes to Voldemort and he dies basically for everyone. After he wakes back up, Voldemort\\\'s curses affect no one in the battle because of Harry\\\'s sacrifice.]]
Thus, I see Lily fighting back - and with the ultimate dark curse no less - as antithetic to Rowling\\\'s intent. You can argue all you want about Yudkowsky\\\'s intent for the characters in \\\'\\\'his\\\'\\\' story, but I think that Rowling\\\'s intent is actually pretty clear when one bothers to seek it. Lord knows she can\\\'t seem to stop herself from making every other little bit of minutia transparent as glass.
