Hello,
 
I am actually new to this site. This is my first post actually, so if 
it's repetative I apologize.
 
I would like to add to the Prior Incantatem "LV fear" when the wands 
were connected during the Duel.
 
One of my theories as to how LV is destroyed ties in with the Prior 
Incantatem of Harry's and Voldemort's wands, specifically the re-
appearance of the victims. I believe the return of LV's Victims 
through the wand might be a (septology) clue that is highly 
significant along the line of LV having to face his worse fears. His 
own fears this time and NOT THE FEARS of everyone else (which I 
believe serve as a "fuel" for LV), THE REALIZATION of his own fears & 
having to face them will lead to the destruction of L.V. He 
will "REAP HIS REWARD" (As DD told harry in book five describing 
Wizard treatment towards houseelves).   

I am a little blurry on the exact story, but it was the story of 
Merlin and his actual mother, who was a witch.
 
She created Merlin and planned to rule with him by her side, however 
Merlin became a good wizard and her plan backfired. She then created 
another child, and he was destroyed by Arthur or Merlin I believe.
 
Merlin's mother was undefeatable, no one could defeat her. However, 
her biggest fear was that she would long be gone and never be 
remembered, hence why she wanted to originally create Merlin and the 
other child.
 
In the end, after her 2nd son was killed, she was in the castle with 
all the town people etc... And appeared...she was defeated when 
everyone that was looking at her, turned around and faced the other 
way, paying no attention to her. As far as they were concerned, she 
no longer existed in their minds, and was ultimately destroyed.
 
I believe that it is the fear of L.V. and people's dark secrets that 
fuel him. 
 
I can see LV being defeated in some similar way. Feel free to add, 
twist, or interpret differently what I have written.
 
I apologize for the facts if they are off, I only recalled what I 
remembered.
 
Frank
