Well, although you have closed the contest, sort of, I'm going to squeeze this one in, 
anyway:

"Harry was still gazing in disbelief at Voldemort's body lying before him, when he realized 
that the high, cold laugh he was hearing was not an echo but a voice inside his own head, 
and slowly but surely he felt himself taken, unable to resist, by the desire, Voldemort's 
desire, to kill, slaughter, maim and scar."

The rational is simple - Voldemort, not being truly human, cannot be truly killed. His 
spirit (or whatever it is that is left of him) can overtake other bodies. When Harry, as he 
thought, managed to kill him, Voldemort's spirit takes him over.

Yuck. I got the creeps just writing it.
