bboy_mn:

Funny you should mention the Death's Door (actually Death's Archway).
I've had this vision of the end of the book or at least the end of
Voldemort.

Voldemort has been captured with the help of Harry, because of the
heinous nature of Voldemort's crimes, he has been sentenced to death;
a penalty that is rarely given in the modern wizard world. So they
take Voldemort to the Death Room, which I believe is a room that is
used to carry out the death penalty, they read the final judgement of
the Wizengamot, and before witnesses he is told he must die. 

They give him the option of voluntarily walking through the Veil, or
being forced through by the executioner. Voldemort while showing a
great deal of fear, still tries to bluff his way through with his evil
overlord persona. He says he will go on his own. He walks toward the
Veil, as he gets closer, he becomes more and more fearful until he
collapes in a quivering, whining, pathetically wailing mass of dispare
and regret. 

Harry takes pity on him and mounts the dais, grabs Voldemort arm and
pulls him to his feet. He repeats Dumbledore's great line that death
is not to be feared, it's just the next great adventure. Then in a
nearly divine gesture of compassion, Harry offers to escort Voldemort
through the Veil. As a stunned Voldemort stares into Harry bright
green eyes, Harry lends Voldemort beyond the veil.

Now one of two things happen, either Harry steps into the brilliant
white light behind the Veil and meets his mother, father, and Sirius.
He hugs them, they comfort him, then they tell him it's not his time,
he must go back. At first Harry wants to stay; behind the veil he has
everyone he has ever longed for and loved. But in the end, they
persuade him to return to the realm of the living.

Alternate: They hear Harry speak from beyond the Veil, and someone
pulls the Veil back to reveal Harry standing with his whole family
including Sirius. He makes a long tender heartwarming farewell speech,
 the Veil closes, and Harry is no more.

Although, escorting or forcing Voldemort into the Room of Love and
Compassion might work just as well. Voldemort enters and has a
spiritual revelation, see the error of his way, and comes out
transformed back into Tom Riddle. Sadly, this new man with a new sense
of love and compassion is doomed to spending his remaining days on
earth confined to Azkaban. A tragic ending for a tragic life.

I'm not saying that I think any of these things WILL happen, I'm just
telling you the vision that has been haunting me for the last week or
two. 

A vision and nothing more, though, pehaps, a prophetic vision.
