Voldemort has a great fear of death. This worries me, because it sets 
him up to become a ghost once he is dead. So killing him in the ordinary 
sense won't be sufficient to rid the world of his presence. Can you 
imagine WW with the dark lord still around, and you can't kill him cos 
he is already dead? Harry will have to rid Voldemort of his fear of 
death before killing him in order to avoid this. OR he might rid him of 
his evil and allow him to live by pushing him into the Room of Love.

Maybe Harry, as an act of kindness, will lead the Hogwarts ghosts to the 
veil so that they can pass on. Thats got to be better than the 'feeble 
imitation life' they have got stuck in.

I do see Harry's role as the reconciling force. He is surely destined to 
bring about harmony between all beings and creatures, and the magical 
and muggle worlds. After he has accomplished that, all I can wish for 
him is a happy life/afterlife, because he will have earned it ;-)
