This is a repeat posting, but on Nov.25 I wrote on this same topic:

I seem to remember some speculation on this topic back in maybe 
July, when I first started pottering about here. One line that stood 
out as significantly connected was the one in PS when Hagrid 
says, "I don't think he had enough human in him left to be really 
dead" (sorry for the bungled misquote, but I don't have my book 
readily available, and to run and get it risks waking the kid to 
explain why Mommy is stealing his book again). So the speculation 
ran that before Voldie didn't have enough human in him to die, but 
NOW he just might...ie. enough of Harry. 

So Dumbledore sees this as an opportunity. I think Dumbledore is the 
only one with enough knowledge to really understand what Voldemort 
is, i.e. what he has transformed himself into. And therefore, he is 
the only one who knows how to kill him. I think it is obvious, 
however, that Harry will have to do the killing. The other question 
that this raises, of course, is that if Harry is so intertwined with 
Voldemort, can he kill him without sacrificing himself? The more I 
read the books, the less I think it is possible for Harry to walk 
away. Perhaps the "scar" mentioned in the last book will be an 
identical scar to Harry's across Voldemort's forehead?

Cheers!
