I think you're on to something important here. As
Dumbledore says in
OoTP:

"We both know there are other ways of destroying a
man, Tom ... Indeed,
your failure to understand that has always been your
greatest weakness."

I am beginning to think that Dumbledore and/or Harry
will find a way for
Harry to kill Lord Voldemort, leaving merely a old,
broken, Tom Riddle.
In this way, Harry fulfills the prophecy but does not
commit murder.

Somehow, an ending like that would satisfy me. Of
course, I've always
thought that life imprisonment would be a much worse
punishment for very
serious crimes than being killed by the state. A time
for the criminal
to consider his/her foul deeds.
