Kneasy, you are right on about the above.  (I disagree about the part 
on Sirius I snipped, but that is another thread)

LV has proven time and time again that he will continue to do evil.  
He *will* not be turned, which means that, short of a Lockhart-like 
oblivion, he *can* not be turned.  He will go to any lenghths, 
including murder to get what he wants, and does it without remorse.  
He cannot want to be good because he sees no difference between good 
and evil (only power and those too weak to seek it-to finish the 
quote).  

To refuse to destroy (and by that I mean kill or any other means) 
him, is to allow him to continue.  If Harry refuses to kill him if 
given the chance, Harry will have the lives of those who are later 
killed on his head.  This is not a Pettigrew that one can assume can 
be turned over to the authorities, this is pure evil incarnate.  Hide 
him in Azkaban for 100 years, and he will continue upon his release.  

Harry will have to do *something* to kill him, even if not an 
unforgivable.  "Accio entrails" would work just as well.
