Ok, as I was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep, a seriously loopy 
theory popped into my head, as can only happen when one's trying to 
sleep by can't.  ^_^

Remember that bell jar of time that the Death Eater's head fell into 
and turned into baby and back to an adult and back to a baby and that 
contained the hummingbird that Ginny was so fascinated by?  I found 
myself wondering what would happen if one dumped a freshly made 
corpse into that bell jar or it's equivalent.  (You know, like we oh-
so-conveniently did not have for Sirius?)  Would the effects be 
purely physiological or not?

If one subscribes to the possibility that Harry will be a somewhat 
more literal Christ figure than usual that might be an explanation of 
how Harry might die and yet return.  It could also be a way to allow 
Harry the opportunity to live out a normal, healthy childhood without 
resorting to the horrid "Oh, it was all a dream!" cliche.  (That 
would presumably either require the bell jar of time wiping/not being 
able to restore his memory or Harry being pulled out as a baby just 
before the jar is destroyed.)  I simply had a funny vision, as I lay 
in bed, of the last line of the last book being something along the 
lines of "...and Hagrid held little baby Harry in his arms, exactly 
as he had been all those years ago, except that this time, his face 
was not blemished by a scar."
