Most of the posters seem to believe that Harry sees himself as a
sort of young Lochinvar.  It is his quest, his sole aim, to rid the 
world of evil.

I don't agree.

Harry is a most reluctant hero, he just wants to get out of this alive.
Here's this personification of evil, dogging his footsteps, ruining his
form at Quidditch, causing mayhem and destruction at every turn.
Anyone would think he has a grudge of some sort.

Harry does not want to fight Voldemort, but everyone seems to
expect him to. 

He might consider that Auror training could enhance his life expectancy,
but I don't think it will happen. The books end long before he could
reasonably start training, so I think this is all a red herring.

Can Harry beat Voldy? No, not on his own. Any one on one, Voldy wins.
Unless, of course, Harry's incredible luck strikes again - Voldy trips
over his pet snake and impales himself on Pettigrews silver stake.
That might do it.
