This is my theory about how the Harry Potter series will end;

Up until GOF, Harry was linked to Voldemort via his scar. This only 
allowed HArry to feel Voldemort's presence or sometimes his intent. 
At the end of GOF, Voldemort was reincarnated using Harry's blood. 
Voldemort is now part Harry, and Harry is part Voldemort. This has 
strengthened the connection between them, so that they can 
effectively possess each other's minds i.e. at these times they are 
effectively one being. 

OK, at the end of OOTP, Voldemort possesses Harry. 
1. Harry can't cope with it and would rather die, but then feels love 
for Sirius 
2. Voldemort can't cope with Harry's love and leaves

The point is that it was Voldemort's decision to possess Harry. What 
if the End Game involves Harry possessing Voldemort! Then it is a 
fight between Harry's love and Voldemort's evil.

DDs look of triumph is therefore explained by the fact that he knows 
that the link between Harry and Voldemort has been produced - which 
will be essential if Harry is to defeat Voldemort.

Clearly Harry is not ready for the challenge yet! Perhaps he has to 
come of age before he can attempt this. This also explains the need 
for Occlumency, to protect Harry until he is ready.

Finally, I have always thought that for Harry to be a truly heroic 
character, he would have to defeat Voldemort without DD's help. 
Initially, I thought that DD would die at some point. But if it does 
come down to Harry possessing Voldemort, he will definitely be on his 
own.
