Yeah, like I said I wonder if it's not the specific focus on how incredible it is to make this sacrifice for others, which unfortunately isn't that impressive to me. I think it also probably hooks into her feelings on death, which also didn't resonate with me, like it may be understood to her that choosing to die is amazingly brave--the same distinction she made between Lily and James. This also bringing it back to Harry again.

To bring in LOTR again, I can see so many reasons why that story resonated more with me. Frodo there is agreeing not just to probably die, but to fail, bringing in the humiliation factor that's often missing in the Passion (that is, it was there in the real Passion, but it's often overlooked in the telling). People were honest with Frodo about what he was doing. He wasn't celebrated for it or treated as a savior. In the end, was there really any reason that this whole quest had to be kept secret from everyone? Why on earth did Harry have to destroy the Horcruxes himself? One expects Voldemort to make a mistake like insisting that *he* be the one to kill Harry even though if he'd just let Crabbe do it he'd have won. But it's like Dumbledore wanted to make Harry as special as possible so his hero story would go the way he wanted.
