Me:

Hehe, Kneazy: I never said Voldemort is not going to be destroyed! I 
just don't think it will happen in a frenzy of hatred from 
Harry; "Take that!" *splash* and "take this" *the breaking of bones* 
and "serves you right" *splat; tearing out Voldemort's eyes*... This 
is hard. I am not denying book 5-Harry seems to harbour a lot of 
hatred in his heart (at the end of book five a lot of it is directed 
against Snape). But you must admit the way Rowling writes, she opens 
up for another way of defeating Voldemort than just doing it the 
Voldemort way? There's too much talk and insinuations about that 
mysterious force, the thing Harry has that Voldie hasn't. I'm leaning 
more against Harry defeating Voldemort the way he "defeated" him in 
MoM: Not cursing him with the AK, but overwhelming Lord Thingy with 
his feelings for Sirius; resulting in Voldie having to flee the 
scene. I am not saying harry will not be in a real fight with 
Voldemort trying to use every spell there is (except the unforgivable 
ones of course).I can imagine a figthing scene where Harry's magical 
skills turn out to be inferior to Voldie's, and where Voldie is about 
to finish him off. Then something unexpected happens like in the 
graveyard or the MoM scene. That would be consistent with a Rowling's 
plot.

And by the way; New Age-philosophy is certainly NOT my thing :-) I 
don't want to be put in that category. You know; the notions of love 
and selfless, (non-violent) heroic sacrifice is also a Christian 
thought...
