With the refusal of the call - there's a lot about him not wanting others to risk themselves - the Order, Ron and Hermione, and so on, but I don't remember much about him not wanting to take it on. Unless I've forgotten. Not believing Rita Skeeter makes more sense to me, especially if you've defined the call in terms of Dumbledore.
Ah yes - the Hallows/Horcruxes debate. That's where he was really tempted and had to make that 'choice not to act' to go and get the wand.
Crossing of the return - yes, of course. Deciding not to use the wand or the stone but to go back to normal - with the cloak, obviously!
I also wondered about the final two lines with the scar not hurting as a 'Master of the Two Worlds' point?
You know, I sort of want to do that across-the-seven-books thing too. This was much more fun than when I was made to do this sort of thing at school, you know. There's a lot to be said for the 'education is wasted on the young' school of thought.
