LizVega:
 
I agree with the theory that Harry will not use AK to kill LV, 
partly because, like you said, I don't think he'll be able to 
harness the joy in killing that is required to perform the spell. 
But, I also don't think that Harry and LV will use wands during 
their battle. We saw in GOF what happens when their wands meet- if 
wands are required, perhaps one of them will use someone else's 
wand. True, wizards don't receive the best results when using 
another's wand, but as powerful as LV and Harry (Will become)are, 
it's an option. 
 
I also agree that the key to defeating LV for good is the emotion 
that Harry has in huge quantities that DD referred to, some say it's 
love, but I don't think so. It seems like a cop-out, and horribly 
obvious, not jo's style at all. I've always wondered whether its' 
the 'essence' of magic. The very thing that connects Harry to the 
wizarding world, and all its' inhabitants.

Carol:
I agree with your first paragraph on almost all counts, though I think
a cold indifference to human life would be at least as effective for
the AK as joy in killing. I don't think Wormtail enjoyed killing
Cedric and he certainly didn't hate him. He just kills him as part of
his job.
