I was thinking about it some time ago. Maybe JKR will go with something like final scene of Tad Wiliam's "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" trlogy
(here

for people who hasn't read it)
when - after long and pretty standard quest-and-battle several thousands pages long adventure, when everybody expects great battle of wills, the final fight is resolved by forgivness.
What if Harry chooses to abandon his anger, forgive Voldie and offer his life, rather than turn into killer? (very buddhist, not propagating bad karma anymore - anoter proof JKR is poisoning chilren minds ;;-)
And Voldie takes a triumphal last shot and it ends badly for him, poor Thingy.

Cheers, Viridis.

P.S. Can somebody tell me (can be off-list) where this ridiculous but very funny "Lord Thingy" comes from?
