I agree that Harry will destroy Voldemort through love, and not 
anger.  My best theory as to how that will work goes as follows: 
Harry will be facing LV, and Peter will be there as well.  Harry will 
perform some act of mercy/pity/love for Peter, who will then make 
good on his life-debt by renouncing his loyalty to LV.  Since the 
ingredients in LV's revival ceremony involved "flesh of the loyal 
servant", the fact that his "loyal" servant switches loyalties to 
the "enemy" of said ceremony will cause the entire spell to backfire, 
destroying LV permanently.  Phew!
