Antosha:

I'll buy this on a couple of levels. First of all, the Harry/Ginny ship is looking very cute to 
me these days, for some reason. 

But your idea has two non-ship pieces of great merit to it. First of all, I like the idea of a 
second sacrifice--preferably by Harry, since his life is owed to just such a sacrifice--being 
the catalyst to destroy LV. And second of all, as you point out, JKR has been asking us to 
consider why LV didn't die... WHAT IF THE DIARY wasn't so much an attempt to keep his 
memories alive--I mean, what sixteen year old is going to be thinking that far ahead?--
but rather the first stage in his experiments to fly from death (vol de mort)? That portion 
of TR held within Ginny could, as we're theorizing, come into play.
