I think Doreen has a good point.  A recent thread which asked whether 
Harry would wind up being a killer (of Voldemort) or a martyr, or if 
someone else would kill Voldy, made me think that maybe there is 
another option, and I think Doreen has hit on it.  Except that I 
think it is more likely to occur in Book 7 than in Book 5.  But I 
think there will be a battle royal, where the good guys (even Snape), 
united, defeat the evil ones.  I think Voldy will die but it will not 
be any one person who kills him; instead it will be the actions of 
the group.  This would fit, I think, with JKRs political 
perspective.  This is foreshadowed by the statement that Dumbledore 
makes in GoF about forgetting differences and uniting, etc.

Unfortunately, there are casualities in any war and very 
unfortunately Dumbledore seems to me to be Most Likely to Perish.  I 
am preparing myself for a good cry when it happens; I just love the 
barmy old codger.

Of course, this is all pure speculation.  My predictions for what 
would happen in GoF were totally wrong.

  "How come the Muggles don't hear the bus?" said Harry.
  "Them!" said Stan contemptuously.  "Don't listen properly, do 
they?  Don't look properly either.  Never notice nuffink, they don'."
