"I have no clue if someone has ever posted something similar, but 
one way for LV to die would be by Harry possessing him, and doing 
the job from the inside out (reverse of book 5). The dueling wands 
won't work, and JKR laid the foundations for this to happen in OotP 
when she showed its possibility. Harry can kill LV by making him 
feel all the hurt he's caused...by filling him with love and regret 
and all the emotions he seems to lack. I see two possible results if 
this were to occur. One is that Harry will be sacrificing himself, 
and as a result, die. But maybe what Harry has in such abundance 
(love/heart) is greater than LV's powers and so he willl emerge 
unharmed, and give a truly happy ending to the series. In the end, 
Harry's defining characteristics will have to be what triumphs over 
LV: this has been hinted at in book 2 (the love in his veins from 
his mother proved deadly then) and in book five when LV couldn't 
bear to be in Harry's body bc of theses feelings. Those feelings 
saved Harry's life that night. Dumbledore also alluded to the 
tremendous power of heart/love in his talk with Harry in book 5. I 
think these clues cannot be overlooked. Remember, these have turned 
into moral tales. However, it remains to be seen if my theory is the 
way the love conquers over malice, spite and evil."


Jaimee:

Just wanted to say that I love this idea, even if someone might have 
suggested it before (can't remember if I read it somewhere or 
thought of something along these lines during one of my musings on 
how the series might end). Either way, I have faith that JK will 
pull off something beautiful and moving like this--Harry using his 
connection with Voldemort to make LV feel remorse for all that he's 
done. 

I do remember reading in earlier posts speculation that Harry might, 
after it's all over, walk through the veil to end all the pain he 
has endured (kind or like Frodo getting on the ship and sailing to 
the West in LOTR). This suggestion received quite a bit of backlash 
because it sounds as though Harry commits suicide.

But I wonder if Harry, through making LV feel the pain he has 
caused, could make *Voldemort* choose to walk through the veil--
finally realizing that there are some things worse than death...or 
someting to that effect. I guess I come to a conclusion like this 
because, as much as I would love to believe that someone of such 
evil can be redeemed, I can't invision a totally reformed Tom Riddle 
emerging from the ashes of battle. But I think it would be...what's 
the word I want to use? paradoxical? hypocritical?...if Harry would 
defeat LV by using the Unforgivables. But it would be a rather 
apposite way, in my oppinion, for Voldemort to die, since one of his 
greatest ambitions was to be immortal.

But, the idea of LV walking through the veil scares me too. Because, 
if Harry is "possessing" LV while he walks through the veil, would 
this mean that we would lose Harry as well, since his soul would be 
passing into the other world with Voldemort's body? 

Oh, I can't bare to think about it anymore! The end of this series 
frightens me! I don't know if I can handle it! 

But I thought I'd make this suggestion anyway.

Best always,

Jaimee
