I agree that Voldemort will try the AK on Harry, but I can't see
Harry (even a batle-hardened Harry) doing the same to Voldemort.
My initial inclination after reading the prophecy, and thinking about
the mechanics of it is that Voldemort will die like Sirius: he'll be
in a battle with Harry, perhaps will be caught off guard by Neville,
and accidently fall backwards through the veil. JKR is already
setting it up for us to know that no one can come back from behind
the veil, so it would be an appropriate ending.
Neville's role in this will be instrumental; much like Gollum's role
in LotR. Frodo always seemed like the means to the end, but in the
end Frodo was just the (crucial) support to make it happen.
