Okay, I'll bite. <grins wickedly> Warning, the following is not for the
light of heart. If you can't stand the thought of Harry's death, I
suggest you hit that nice little "delete" button.

I see a couple possibilities. If Harry turns out to have an
extra-special "talent" or "power", I could see Voldemort trying to
sacrifice Harry during some sort of spell. I'm still fuzzy about the
magic rules in JKR's world, but it seems to be the norm for magic
worlds that the ritual sacrifice of magical people releases a lot of
power. I would imagine that Voldemort would use the power released from
Harry's Death to complete some sort of world-dominating spell. Probably
pierce Harry through the heart or something to release that power. Or
maybe split his head open at the scar?

If there's no extra talent, well, I imagine that Voldemort would be
able to get to Harry through Harry's blood in V's veins. When Pettigrew
used Harry's blood to help "raise" Voldemort, I sat up in my chair and
said "Aha!". I can see this as both a strength and a weakness for
Voldemort. It depends how JKR wants to write it. As a strength example,
Voldemort can use the blood to "call" Harry, have him leave Hogwarts
and come to him. At that point, well, Voldemort will either want to
make an example of Harry (kill him in a very public way for maximum
shock) or get rid of him as quickly as possible (Avada Kedavra him). If
he leaves his emotions out of it, Voldie will kill him as quickly as
possible. 

Another way that Voldemort could attempt to kill Harry is through the
tried and true method of an intermediary (another Crouch/Moody). During
summer break, subject one of the Hogwarts students to his will. We've
seen teachers being used by Voldie, why not students? Use the old
imperius (sp?) curse and try to have the student kill Harry. However, I
don't see this happening very much as its been done. 

Er, I know! Have dragons attack Hogwarts and flame it! Or Hagrid will
turn to the dark side, and lead the giants to Hogwarts to smash it!

I could go on and on and on...I'm rather fond of Voldemort splitting
Harry's head open at the scar though, whether its through ritual
sacrifice or not.
