Walt? John Locke? Ben? Richard? Jacob?
Oh, and back when they kidnapped Walt, why did the Hostiles/Others want Walt to begin with? (sorry..I know this is back to Season #2 or #3). What were Walt's powers other than he could make birds fly into glass windows and stuff like that?

I always thought that when Desmond asked "Are you him?" he was asking if he (was he speaking to Locke in that scene--I can't remember) was the person who was going to replace him as the person who types in the numbers.
The Others seem to target people they want to come join their little society--Juliet to help with fertility, for example. They also targeted Locke all through his life prior to coming to the Island, although I'm not sure if that's because he told them he was their future leader when he was zapped back into the 50s or for some other reason/skill. So, maybe Walt's powers have some other purpose we don't know about yet that makes him attractive to the Others. Or, the fact that women can't concieve on the Island would make him more attractive too, since he was still a child when the series started.
I'm really hoping we haven't seen the last of Walt. I would hate for that story line to go unfinished.
