This has probably been discussed ad nauseam for days, but if so I missed it.

Ahh, you are close to my own Book 7 prophecy:  Both Harry and Ron will achieve their hearts' desires as expressed in the Mirror of Erised.  Ron, freed of the burden of the twins' disdain for schoolwork, will work hard enough (and do something spectacular enough) to become Head Boy.  Harry can't be Head Boy because he'll be too busy with other things in his final year.

At the end of Book 7, Harry will be with his family.  But they will be behind the veil.  Harry's "power the Dark Lord knows not" is the power that comes from his willingness to face death for a greater cause.  Harry will come to realize that nothing can save the WW now except for his own sacrifice.  On the other hand, Voldemort's greatest desire is immortality, and his greatest fear is mortal death.  They are equals -- priori incantatem showed that -- but for this power that we've known Harry to possess ever since he decided to go through the trapdoor.  Sirius' death completes his mentorship by his example.  
  
I think we need to drag the death-and-resurrection symbols out of mothballs and redecorate.
