While watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure a while back, I 
suddenly thought of a clue in PoA that might hint to Voldemort's 
destruction. In PoA, Hermione says something about how time-turners 
are dangerous because people have ended up killing their past or 
former selves. The first chapter in GoF talks about a dark-haired 
boy around the day the Riddles died and implies that its Tom Riddle, 
but doesn't specifically say it was Riddle, and both Tom Riddle and 
Harry fit the description. (For that matter, so does a younger James 
or Snape).I've thought for a while that perhaps Harry somehow lures 
Voldemort in the past and he somehow meets his destruction on the 
night that the Riddles died, quite possibly by his former self (Tom 
kills Voldemort) or later self (Voldemort kills Tom, and thus undoes 
the various charms/spells he placed on himself for immortality). 
Harry will somehow still be the undoing of Voldemort without 
actually becoming a murderer.

Bill and Ted's sense of time travel reminds of HP. If Rufus is 
needed to make sure Bill and Ted pass their history class so they 
can form the band white stallion, then how did Rufus's society ever 
come into being, as White Stallion's music is needed to help the 
cosmos align? Sort of like how Harry is there to cast a patronus 
spell to save himself.
