I think maybe you misunderstood me - I don't think Harry will kill 
Voldemort.  He will want to, but will change his mind - and THAT is 
what will get him the victory.  If he killed Voldemort, he would end 
up becoming the same as him.  Only in resisting his impulse and hate 
will he win.  I don't buy the greater good argument and I don't, 
ultimately, think JK does either, nor would she put it in a book 
ostensibly aimed at children.
