And they would be true:
1. Harry's struggles would be very significant. Harry is in a similar
situation as Tom Riddle was in years ago. Both are half-bloods, both
lost their parents, both had a very tough childhood being raised by
muggles. And now in OotP Harry seems to be getting angrier as
Voldemort's influence on him seems to be getting stronger. I think
Harry may well be going down the same path as Voldemort once did.
Harry's choices will then turn out to be very important in the
struggle for Voldemort's humanity.
Harry choosing not to give up on love will show Voldemort that it's
not the situation we're placed in which determines what we are. We
can choose ourselves what we become.
2. Harry's death wouldn't be insignificant or dumb. It's through his
death that Voldemort would be able to live again. And it's only then
that Voldemort can finally be killed.
3. With 'Voldemort will win' I was only referring to Voldemort's big
final fight with Harry, not the definitive outcome of the whole
series. I believe that in the end it's Voldemort's victory over Harry
that causes him to become mortal again. And having just killed Harry
it's very likely that one of Harry's friends will be attacking
Voldemort right at that moment.
Of course Voldemort being the competent overlord that he is, he will
have long anticipated all this and put in place the appropriate
precautions... right?...
