It's clear that DD is preparing Harry to face Voldy. This must mean 
that DD knows that Harry must, at some point, face Voldy alone. A lot 
has been made of this 'connection' between them. Clearly, Voldy can 
possess Harry now, which is why DD and the whole of the OOTP want him 
to learn Occlumency. I think Harry will master Occlumency and then  
in the end it will come down to Harry intentionally possessing Voldy. 
This is the only situation I can imagine where Harry will be 
completely beyond DDs help. Harry will have to focus on his love for 
his parents/Sirius etc which will ultimately destroy Voldy. What will 
happen to Harry at this point I do not know. But it seems possible 
from Nick's comments at the end of OOTP that Voldy will become a 
ghost. As for DD knowing all, he has not let Harry hear the whole 
prophecy. Compare the two prophecies from the books and you will see 
the discrepancies!
