The Fate of Voldemort

There seems to be a lot of speculation about how, exactly, Harry is 
going to solve the little problem of disposing of Voldemort.  And, as 
speculation is just that, I feel safe enough in giving my opinion ;)  
As I have 
just finished reading CoS, and the part of GoF about the Quidditch 
World Cup, I have been thinking about Memory charms, especially 
obliviation.  If you are of the camp that doesn't want Harry to 
become a murderer (even if it is only Voldemort), this seems to be a 
nice safe option.  Voldy is stopped, fairly unviolently, and Harry 
retains his virtue.  I like the obliviation option because it is 
referred to through-out the books, it hasn't been used in any 
spectacular way.  Not that all spells have to be used in spectacular 
ways...  I don't think you're going to be able to use, say, 
mobiliarbus very spectacularly :D  
I also had another thought, as I 
have also been reading LOTR.  Despite all Frodo's best efforts, 
Saruman ends up dead anyway.  It could be like that.  Harry is all 
ready to just turn Voldy over to the dementors, or Obliviate, and 
(insert favorite character to do in Voldy) rushes up and finishes for 
him, in a less humane manner.  Just a few thoughts, as I have nothing 
better to do today.  :)

--Angie, delighted to be able to make LoTR and HP comparisons like 
all the other posters :D
