Carin responds:

I suspect that the usual Muggle ways of killing people would not 
finish Voldie off, nor, perhaps, would AK. It seems likely that 
either method would only do a partial job on Voldie, taking us right 
back to where we started in Book 1. What would it take to do away 
with his body, soul, and will? Moreover, I suspect that to the 
extent that normal (Muggle or Wizard) ways of killing won't work on 
Voldie, they won't work on Harry either. Part of the denouement of 
the remaining books, therefore, might involve both sides trying to 
work out what it will take to comprehensively dispose of the enemy 
and so fulfill the curse.
