IMHO, even if Harry or someone else was able to use AK successfully 
against Voldemort (which I doubt because we have seen that one can 
avoid it through prompt apparation a la DD), that would not 
_vanquish_ the Dark Lord forever.  The incident surrounding Harry's 
scar demonstrates that physical death is not enough to rid the world 
of Voldemort.  Harry will have to do something more profound and far 
more powerful to ensure not only the physical, but also the spritual 
destruction of Voldemort
