Throughout the series, Harry has traveled to King's Cross Station, either to depart for Hogwarts or return to London on the Hogwarts Express. The station has always symbolized the crossroad between the Muggle world and the Wizarding realm and Harry's constant shuffling between, and his conflict with, the two extremes. It is fitting then that Harry should be in that station's simulacrum, only now, it has become a junction between life and death. And though Dumbledore assures Harry that he (Harry) is not actually dead, it seems Harry can choose that option if he so wishes. Harry has literally and figurtively been stripped bare before he can decide either to either board a train that will taketransport him to the "other side", or return to the living world and an opportunity to finally finish off Voldemort. Both choices prove to beare difficult. Although "moving on" seems frightening and contains many unknowns, Harry knows he would finally be at peace, as well as be reunited with his dead parents, and also Sirius, Lupin, and the others he has lost. It would also mean he must leave behind those he loves in the living world, especially Ginny, and any opportunity for a future with her. Harry must also still confront Voldemort with no guarantee he can win; he realzes, however, that he is the only one who can kill the Dark Lord, and that countless lives now hinge on his returning. His wishing for clothing may indicate his strong ties to the living world. Harry also realizes that Dumbledore did indeed always love him, and Dumbledore's actions, pitting him against Voldemort, was only because he knew Harry was destined by fate to do so, not because Dumbledore had decreed it. Harry's faith and trust in the headmaster have been restored.

Before Harry makes a decision, more questions are answered. The creature on King's Cross' floor would appear to be Voldemort's soul shard that had been within Harry. While this is never explained in the book, Dumbledore tells Harry that his soul is now wholly his own. [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=121 According to the author in a later interview, however,] it was actually whatthe remainedremnant of Voldemort's original soul, flayed when it was sheared off for Horcruxes and damaged by his repeated murders.

We now have two viewpoints regarding what happened the night Dumbledore retrieved the Ring Horcrux. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Snape's]] memories only reveal [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|the aftermath]]. And Dumbledore seems reticent to explain exactly why he put on the Ring on. The Horcrux within the Ringit was likely sentient and aware that anyone wearing it would be cursed, and it would fight for its survival. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 19|Earlier]], the Locket Horcrux attempted to strangle Harry to protect itself, then, failing that, preyed upon [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron's]] emotions; would the Ring Horcrux have done any less? Dumbledore's desire was likely the same as Harry's: to be reunited with his family. Recognizing the Horcrux as the Resurrection Stone, would he not have been tempted to use the Stone to see them again? And would not the Horcrux, sensing this, entice him to put on the ring on his finger, knowing this should kill Dumbledore before he could destroy the Horcrux?

Dumbledore said Ariana's death was accidental. The question that continually haunted Dumbledore, and likely has been troubling Aberforth, was whose curse killed her. If it was Grindelwald, then presumably Aberforth would have sought revenge, and tried to kill him, though he probably would have been killed in the attempt. If it was Albus, then Aberforth would never have forgiven him. If it was Aberforth, then neither Aberforth nor Albus would be able to forgive himself, Aberforth for beingkilling thehis one who killed hisown sister, and Albus for bringing this horror onto his brother. This uncertainty left the situation clouded, and prevented Albus and Aberforth from ever moving past Ariana's death. Grindelwald, being considerably less caring, was only concerned that he could be blamed and took his usual course, running away.

Harry tells Dumbledore that Grindelwald lied to Voldemort, claiming that he never possessed the Elder Wand, perhaps in a belated effort to protect his former friend. Dumbledore believes Grindelwald may have felt remorse in his later years. It would seem his last act on Earth was an attempt to save the world from the likes of himself. Despite lying to Voldemort, his effort was futile. Through reading Grindelwald's mind, or just through common sense, Voldemort determined that Dumbledore possessed the Elder Wand and it was now entombed with him.
