I read a story once that had this twist ending. The so
called Villain was just trying to keep civilization
running until it was time for the Prophesy to occur
and he could turn the job over to the person who was
destined to "defeat" him. 

Kelsey:
Yes, there is a Xena episode where this happens (a
King adopts the baby that would take over as his son)
as well as a Greek tale (Perseus, I believe), where
the hero accidentally kills his grandfather at an
Olympic game when his grandfather had tried to kill
him
because the oracle said that Perseus would kill his
grandfather.

I hope/believe that Harrys prophesy will be another
twist solution (like the "servant of Voldemort" one).
Maybe that Harry destroys Voldemort inadvertently
rather than through straight-out murder. He might
destroy Voldemort, but not Tom Riddle (although that
sounds a little too Star Wars-y).
