Anastasia:
Well, this is, of course, a possibility. What I wonder most about is 
HOW Harry is going to use any wand on Voldemort.
As far as we know, there is only one curse to kill somebody - Adava 
Kedavra. This requires very strong magic, as Moody points out. 
Bellatrix also tells Harry something about the Cruciatus curse that 
is well applicable to AK. As far as I understand it, the DESIRE to 
kill must be OVERWHELMING.
Is Harry likely to desire LV's death so badly? Well, now he isn't 
and IMO if nothing crucial happens in book 6 he won't be in book 7. 
That leaves us to wonder what will happen to Harry and more probably 
his friends. Lupin was the first who came to my mind and as I didn't 
like this thought at all I started thinking in other directions.

Harry could become protected by some (ancient?) magic so that LV's 
attempt to kill him ends badly for LV. I think this is quite 
probable but then again this leaves the idea of someone dying to 
protect Harry.

But there is also one other possibility. I don't say this is going 
to happen, I'd just like to hear your opinions about it.
Sirius dies not because of AK cast at him but because he FALLS 
THROUGH THE ARCHWAY. Well, what's if Harry and LV fight in the DOM? 
Can this be the way LV dies? (Assuming dying is what one does 
falling through the arch.) Are there (other) objects working like a 
door to the world of death?
