dcgmck:
Ah, now you're selecting an ending: that Voldemort (or any human) 
must die.  JKR has said that there will be another death, and that it 
will be very sad.

That doesn't preclude the possibility that neither Harry nor LV/TR 
will actually die.  A third alternative to the dilemma presented 
Harry and, by extension, the readers is an eternal struggle in which 
the representatives of good and evil neither die nor are able to live 
any kind of "normal" existence.  Instead, they take their conflict to 
another plane/dimension.  Veil, anyone?
