for the stone playing such an important role in the first book, it
sure did disappear quickly.  Yes, Dumbledore said it was destroyed. 
No reason not to believe Dumbledore.  There's also no reason to think
there wasn't at least a little Elixir stored up someplace.  I won't
jump into the theory of baby Harry and Elixir at the moment, though. 
Yet as someone pointed out earlier, there's dead, and then there's
dead.  Perhaps Harry could be "dead" long enough to weaken Voldemort
to the point of destruction (or for him to let down his guard).  Then
with the Elixir dripping into his mouth, trickling down his throat, he
lives. Yes, it's far out, but hey, this is fantasy after all.

bboy_mn speculates:

A long time ago,... well relative the the volume of post in this
group, a long time ago when we discussed dead and resurection before.
My theory (more like pure speculation) was that Dumbledore will give
Harry the Elixer without Harry knowing it, just as an added measure of
protection.

I can see a 'Highlander' like scene occurring. If you've seen the
movie or TV show about the Highlanders, who are a group of immortals,
who for some reason go around choppin off each others heads. When they
are killed, they actually die. That is, their body responds to the
fatal trama, but in a matter of a minute or two, their immortality
kicks in and they suddenly jump back to life; true death and true
resurection.

If something similar occurred with the Elixer, then for a minute or
so, Harry would truly be dead, during which time (theoretically)
Voldemort becomes vulnerable to death. Someone besides Harry kills him
(Ron [my hero], Hermione, Dumbledore, Snape? [wouldn't that be a
twist], Dobby, Sirius), then Harry groans loudly and comes back to
life, at which time, Dumbledore explains to him about having given him
the Elixer of Life. Now there is a plot with an amazing number of
twists and turns.

Just a thought.
