More thoughts on Deathly Hallows
After thinking about this a bit more, I think it’s likely that the Deathly Hallows refers to what happened to Harry when Lily died to save him, i.e. Harry became consecrated by Lily’s death for his sake. Keep in mind that this took place in Godric’s Hollow, on All Hallows Eve. So perhaps Harry is going to be finding out more about the nature of how his mother’s death protected him, and how he can use that to defeat Voldemort. Methinks we will finally find out what Dumbledore was smiling about at the end of Book 4.

[...] I mentioned in the PubCast the thoughts of Harry Potter Prognostications, and more thoughts have been posted: I think the “Deathly Hallows” is the name for the magic by which Harry became protected from Lord Voldemort when Lily died for him out of love. Lily’s performed a “deathly hallowing” of Harry, making him immune to Voldemort’s powers. In Book 7, Harry will learn this magic, and devise a way to use it so that he, Harry, is killed by Voldemort. The key: Harry’s deathly hallow will be on behalf of the entire world, rendering the entire world immune to Voldemort’s power. [...]
