Final Battle

There has to be a final standoff between Harry and LV.
My assumption is that Harry, who, much like his dad, may want to learn how to 
become an Animagi in book 6, i.e., a stag.  If that is so, and assuming LV is 
also an Animagi, (obviously a snake  . . .  a VERY LARGE venomous snake), 
there should be a battle between them in this form  in book 7.
Also taking into consideration Dumbledore's comment that Peter may help Harry 
later on, the final battle may be as such:

    It will take place in a cave (snakes like to hide in rocks).  Harry and 
LV know their wands are useless, since they cancel each other out.  Harry 
changes into a stag, which has "prongs" to stab with, while LV becomes a snake with 
fangs of poison. The battle is heavy and wounds are given in both directions. 
 It is Peter, as Scabbers, who realizes that only he can turn the tide.  
Harry may be losing the battle and is about to be finished, when Scabbers bites 
the tail of LV.  The distraction is enough for Harry's antlers to maul and pin 
LV to the cave wall, then toss LV across the cave floor.  Only then can Harry 
turn human again and grab his wand to preform "Avada Kedevra" (the killing 
curse) against LV.
But it is Nagini who attacks Scabbers. Harry kills Nagini and pulls Scabbers 
from Nagini's mouth.  Once again human, Peter begs for forgiveness, which 
Harry grants.  Peter dies.

As in each book, Harry has been close to death and risen again and again.  I 
feel the same will be here. As to how, I'm not sure.   Possibly the 
Philosopher's Stone was not completely destroyed as Dumbledore claimed and Harry is 
brought back to life with that.
