I think this is an excellent essay reflecting exactly my thoughts!  I 
tried to say the same thing in an earlier post, but because of my 
lack of skill in writing, it came out all jumbled and misunderstood.

Yes, I believe that Harry and V are "shadows" of each other that need 
to be fused - that is why "neither can live while the other 
survives".  One consciousness has to become part of the other (in a 
sense die "at the hand of the other"), because they are somehow 
split, and need to merge together. There is a part in one of the 
books, and I've been unable to find it, where DD sees two shadowy 
snakes emerge from his pensieve(?) (can't remember if that is what it 
was).  He mentions something about them being separate but of the 
same essence.  That is what stuck with me, and why I believe in the 
end, V will die and Harry will live.  The two will come together in 
Harry.  Why do I think Harry will live?  Simply because I believe the 
evil will be vanquished; my opinion is the series will not end with 
this evil being roaming around.
