Aha! I think Matrix. How did Neo conquer Agent Smith in the first
Matrix movie? He 
possessed him. Voldemort can't possess Harry, but Harry can possess
Voldemort and 
thus destroy him! Ta-da. Unless you have a problem with copycats of
course. 
(Although technically, if that *was* JKR's plan all along, she would
have been first.)
Anyway... I think you're perfectly right with Voldemort's flawed
revival, acoteucla. 
Pettigrew's part is not over yet, I'm sure of it.
