A good point. It seems clear at least that Dumbledore felt the 
circumstances in the MoM weren't quite right.

If Harry has to kill Voldemort this certainly makes more sense. Harry 
may have to learn some skill or spell to be able to kill Voldemort, 
or his friends may have to somehow influence the fight.

If Harry has to die however, it could be that the part of Voldemort 
inside of him isn't ready yet. I hate to get all fluffy-cutesy-
carebear on you, but perhaps Harry first has to experience real 
passionate romantic love for all this to work. Perhaps Harry has to 
learn more about his mother and father and the love they had for him. 
Perhaps Harry first has to realize just how much he is loved by the 
people around him. Or perhaps Wormtail first has to give his life to 
save Harry for Voldemort to fully realize the power of love.

I'm sure that Voldemort wouldn't just change because he finally feels 
love, there will probably have to be a fierce psychological battle 
before Voldemort becomes human again. The part of Voldemort inside of 
Harry may simply not be ready for this. And why hasn't Dumbledore 
been constantly training Harry in dueling techniques if he knew Harry 
would someday have to kill Voldemort?
