Aesha:

FLINT or anything. There's plenty of ways to kill someone without 
dueling with them. You could use the AK, send them a little bit of 
devil's snare, heck, you could drop an anvil on them if you wanted. 
So I don't think that the fact that priori incantatem took effect 
will really matter, because I think Voldemort would be smart enough 
to think of some other way to get rid of Harry (and I think he'd 
probably use the AK, since he's missed Harry with it twice now!)

My (Emma's) Reply:
You seem to forget the way Voldemort works, he doesn't just kill his 
victims, at least not his important ones, he plays with them first. 
I took my examples from the fact that James, Sirius, and most of the 
Order (as Harry was told by Mad Eye Moody) were killed via a duel 
with either a Death Eater, or Lord Voldemort himself. Do you really 
believe that J.K Rowling is going to end this 7 part story by 
Voldemort sending Harry  devil's snare or vice versa. By raising the 
point, I wasn't aiming for you to list the possible ways to kill a 
wizard using magic. Simply by reading the previous books, it's 
obvious Lord Voldemort is going to try AK, the question is, how is 
Harry going to kill Lord Voldemort?
