Just last night I posted a plot theory that either no one read, or no 
one liked, because nobody replied to it.  In either case, I would 
really like some feedback on the idea.  I contend that somehow 
Voldemort will lose his soul to a Dementor's kiss, probably while he 
is posessing Harry.  Harry will then be the only person to be able to 
tell us what it feels like to be Kissed by a Dementor, and Voldemort 
will be worse than dead.

Here is my support:

1. Harry would have to face his greatest fear, and that makes sense 
structurally, especially from a hero's journey POV.

2.  DD did promise LV a fate worse than (physical) death.

3.  JKR promised us that Harry would be getting another kiss, but she 
didn't say from whom.  She said it in relation to a SHIPping 
question, but I think she was misdirecting us.

My former post on this subject is #119223.
