yeah,  this line was a tad corny & cheesey(cheetos, anyone?) I mean,
the last time we saw Harry & Snape together, Snape was handing Harry
his own behind.  If Harry cannot defeat Snape at the most crutial
moment, when Snape *killed* Dumbledore right in front of Harry's eyes,
when can he?  Maybe that is why Snape was always ganged up on by
James, Sirius, et al - because a one on one fight would leave Snape
victorious.  

Which leads me to believe, based on the Harry/Snape *fight*, that the
final downfall of Voldemort will not be in this manner.   That it
won't be dueling, as their wands cannot duel against each other
without peculiar results, and it certainly cannot be the way Harry
tried to fight Snape.  If Snape could beat Harry back down - without
even hurting him - surely Voldemort can also, only Voldy won't care if
he hurts Harry or not.  Or kills Harry, for that matter.  I don't
think that the battle between Harry & Voldy will be a bloody one -
perhaps the events leading up to that confrontation will be, but the
actual *showdown* will be something completely different & new.
