I haven't read the book yet so maybe my idea makes no sense, but 
from what I read about Petunia's blood protecting Harry, maybe 
Voldemort can't kill Harry because he carries Harry's blood inside 
him, which actually protects Harry. (Hope you get the idea).

I mean that if Petunia's blood offers Harry a protection, then 
Voldemort's blood (which was Harry's, which comes from Lily, 
Petunia's sister) at least must stop Voldemort from killing Harry. 
Voldemort is now a potential protector of Harry's life. Don't know 
if it would work the other way around (Harry can't kill Voldemort), 
which makes me believe that the end has less to do with Killing, and 
more with some sort of redemption or change of heart (a metaphorical 
death).

I posted this idea earlier but I haven't read anyone comment about 
it, so I don't know if this is a plausible idea. Remember I haven't 
read OoP yet...
