In the somewhat distant past, I pointed out in a similar discussion
that there is dying and then there is dying; the two not necessarily
being the same. 

Real people, ordinary everyday people die and come back to live all
the time. Of course, their dying hinges on a definition of dying. If
you heart and lungs stop, but some stretch of the definition you are
dead. But through CPR, heart masage, electroshock, etc... you can come
back to life.

Now in the magic world we have VooDoo zombies, which are people who
are made to appear dead my nearly all common definitions. They are
buried, and the VooDoo witch doctor digs them up, revives them, and
keeps them a zombie slaves. My only point here is that death and
rebirth are not foreign concepts to magic.

So, my death and rebirth theory is that for Voldemort to die, Harry
must die. So, unknown to most people, perhaps even unknown to Harry,
Dumbledore creates a potion or enchantment that will let Harry die by
some definition. This death will instantly make Voldemort vulnerable;
and he will be quick and permanently dispatched. Then Harry will be
revived, having been dead by some definition, but not having been
truly and irrevocably dead.

The savior of the wizard race died and was reborn. A story as old as time.

Just a thought.
