Dumbledore himself has warned Harry against taking the easy way out,
and it's significant that he poses the choice not as right vs. wrong
but as "what is right rather than what is easy." IMO, Harry will make
a choice that is both right and difficult, one that's consistent with
"Good" as JKR has defined it. Anger and goodness seldom go together in
her book, and good people (epitomized by Dumbledore) have powers that
they will not use. This point is made in the very first chapter of the
very first book, and I doubt that JKR will deviate from it or allow
her hero to do so. The challenge for Harry is how to destroy Voldemort
without resorting to Voldemort's methods or falling to his level.
Revenge only perpetuates the cycle of pain and death.
