I'm just jumping in here (don't shoot me if this has already been 
discussed) Maybe it's that since some of Voldemort's powers were 
transferred to Harry, Harry has the right combination of powers and 
or protections to be able to contend w/ Lord V?  If perhaps Harry 
was to die, but transfer those powers, the next wizard would also 
possess the same power and be able to kill Lord V--- It doesn't make 
him Immortal--- just like a combination lock, with the right 
combination anyone could use it, or in Lord V's case, anyone could 
kill him.
