Could Maggie have taken up a Coin?
Mr. Death:
My read on it was Harry would have had to give up his magic to get rid of the Shadow, because his magic was effectively giving it life.
Taking up the coin, accepting the fallen, and then giving up the coin wouldn't require that, I don't think, because the shadow would've been absorbed back into the Fallen and giving up the coin then is the major choice and rejection.

That's been my read on things, too, but I remember it being a point of contention.

Do we have any proof that Maggie still had access to her magic when she had Harry/died? Just curious, as I can't recall anything suggesting she did or didn't.

Pretty sure you can't cast a Death Curse if you don't have magic.

Good point. Although if I were inclined to argue, I'd say that there was a WoJ on the potency of death curses being dependent on power level, and Maggie's curse (being anchored on two blood relatives for the ongoing support) might be more finesse than raw strength.
But I'm not really inclined to argue the point. Lasciel's comment seemed to be more about Maggie getting a new source of power rather than losing what she had. I'd believe that she fell in True Love with someone else before I'd believe that giving up her power would make it easier to break free.
