I really like this theory.  I don't want (and can't picture) Harry to 
kill LV himself because it will take away whatever innocense the poor 
boy will have left.  Having to go through everything he has will 
definitely have an effect on him, but killing will leave that much 
more of a scar.  Plus, I think that if Harry causes LV to kill 
himself, then technically the prophesy remains accurate because Harry 
is then responsible for LV's death even if he uses a figurative hand 
instead of a physical one.

I also like the idea of love conquering LV and the Death Eaters.  I'm 
not sure if the veil will play into the resolution of the story in 
the way you mentioned, I think it will be the room that contains the 
powerful force (which many on this list believe to be love), but I 
agree that we'll see the veil again in one of the 2 final books.
