   Nope, DD can't kill Voldemort because if he does he'll end up 
killing Harry as well. Harry and Voldemort are now link by the curse 
that failed to kill Harry. Voldemort should have died when the curse 
rebounded onto him. Voldemort even says that (or something like 
that) in GoF, that he didn't know why he survived, just that one of 
his experiments must have worked. So now the only one who can kill 
Voldemort is Harry, the question is how does Harry survive if there 
linked in this way.....
