Wow. A suicidal Harry? That's quite a theory. I think it is possible that 
he might have to sacrifice himself in order to defeat V., but I don't know 
about him purposely killing himself just to be back with his loved ones or 
anything like that. After all, he still has people he cares about who are 
alive. And somehow, depressed as he is, I just don't see Harry as a 
suicidal type.

But he and V. killing each other is a possibility. I wouldn't put it past 
JKR to do something that dark.
