Sorry, just wanted to add that that was a pretty concise and accurate
description of what happened. And, for the very most part, I agree.
I would add that while Harry was in Limbo, it seemed as if Voldemort was
also in Limbo, but held there by Harry's fate. If Harry doesn't go back, I'm
not sure Voldemort could go back. Though perhaps, I'm not certain, he
would have again been left as a disembodied spirit.
I find it interesting that Voldemort failed to kill Harry the first time
because of Lily's protection. The protection of her self-sacrifice. The
second time, the time we are discussing, Lily's protection was still in effect,
though Voldemort had some small portion of it in him. Regardless of
Voldemort have a small degree of that protection, I really don't think he was
protected to the degree that Harry was.
So, the forest spell being unable to kill Harry, killed the only thing it
could which was the fragment of Voldemort's soul contained in Harry.
Precisely how their fates are bound together in that moment, are not
completely clear to me, but it does seem as if Harry is in charge. He makes the
decision as to whether he goes 'On' or goes 'back' and Voldemort must
follow suit. The one part I'm not sure of is if Harry chooses to go 'On', what
happens to Voldemort? Dead or Disembodied? I suspect disembodied, otherwise
there is no point in having Harry go back.
In the forest, the horcrux in Nagini was still alive and well, so
Voldemort would NOT have died or become disembodied. He would have been stunned, as
we saw, but the piece of his soul in Nagini would have protected him.
Harry realized that, I'm sure, so he knew he had to come back and finish
things, one way or the other.
