Voldemort will win

Hi, I have a little theory I would like to share...

I predict that Harry will die, but not willingly in some emotional 
overly dramatic act of self-sacrifice as so many seem to think. 
Voldemort will kill Harry, and for a moment at least Voldemort will 
be completely victorious.

The prophecy states that: "neither can live while the other 
survives". In Harry's case this makes sense; while Voldemort is out 
there killing the ones he loves and threatening to take over Harry's 
mind, Harry will never be able to live a normal life. But what about 
Voldemort? Why exactly is it that Voldemort can't live while Harry is 
around? What's preventing him from abandoning this whole world 
domination/immortality thing, moving to a nice warm tropical island, 
and making loads of money of his best selling autobiography 'How I 
became the Dark Lord'? He could use the tan. The answer I think can 
be found in PS, near the end Dumbledore tells Harry: "He is still out 
there somewhere, perhaps looking for another body to share... *not 
being truly alive*, he cannot be killed." So what if, in Voldemort's 
case, 'neither can live while the other survives' refers to the fact 
that he at the moment is actually not truly alive? It would then be 
only when Voldemort kills Harry that he becomes truly alive again, 
and at the same time becomes mortal again.

The key to all this lies in Harry's scar. In CoS Dumbledore tells 
Harry that Voldemort unintentionally put a bit of himself in Harry 
when the Avada Kedavra curse backfired. My guess is that a small part 
of Voldemort's disembodied mind instinctively jumped to the nearest 
living body it could find. (Did Voldemort perhaps unsuccessfully try 
to possess Harry's body?) Harry's scar marks the place where this 
part of Voldemort's mind dug its way into Harry's head. This explains 
why his scar hurts whenever Voldemort is close by; the separated part 
of Voldemort's mind desperately wants to rejoin with the rest of 
Voldemort. This also explains why Harry can sometimes feel 
Voldemort's emotions. When Dumbledore is examining the smoke serpent 
in OotP, this is what he's talking about. The snakes represent the 
separate parts of the Voldemort's mind, which share a bond but at the 
same time are essentially divided. Both parts of his mind have 
experienced completely different lives for the past 15 years. When 
Voldemort then eventually kills Harry the separated part of 
Voldemort's mind will finally be free to return to Voldemort. And it 
will take with it everything it experienced while it was trapped in 
Harry's body, including the love Harry experienced for the people 
around him.

When both parts of his mind are reunited Voldemort will directly 
experience how much Harry was actually like him: both were orphans, 
both had a very tough childhood being raised by Muggles, both were 
half-bloods, they even looked alike when they were young. But unlike 
Voldemort, Harry never chose to take revenge on the world, showing 
Voldemort that it's not the situation we are placed in that 
determines what we are. It's our choices that define what we truly 
are. Not only that, Voldemort will also directly experience the love 
Harry felt for the people around him. And it is this love that will 
ultimately make Voldemort human again, and mortal. Because this is 
Voldemort's great weakness, he cannot feel love or pain. It's because 
of this that he is not truly alive. And it is this that is the fate 
worse then death: living without ever experiencing love... or pain. 
It's worse than death to never be truly alive. Lupin already told 
Harry this when he told him about the Dementor's kiss in 
PoA: "...they clamp their jaws upon the mouth of the victim and – and 
suck out his soul" Harry accidentally spat out a bit of his 
butterbeer. "What – they kill –?" "Oh no," said Lupin. "*Much worse 
than that*. You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as 
your brain and heart are still working." It's Voldemort's current 
state of not feeling love and pain that is worse than death.

So Voldemort can't possibly lose. He cannot be killed as long as he 
is not truly alive, and he cannot live as long as Harry survives. 
Assuming of course that 'not being truly alive, he cannot be killed' 
was referring to the results of the one or more 'experiments' that 
caused Voldemort to survive the rebounded Avada Kedavra curse. And of 
course as soon as Voldemort does become mortal he will probably be 
killed by Neville. Or Wormtail.

And doesn't this seem like just the devious underhanded kind of thing 
J.K. Rowling would come up with for an ending, making us believe for 
a moment that the Dark Lord actually wins?
