Now Andromeda:
  I don't think you have to worry about that, exactly.  We (and 
Harry) already know that an Unforgivable Curse isn't going to kill 
Voldemort.  It can't, no doubt due to whatever spellwork it was that 
Voldemort had done to "never die".  No, I think Jo's hints that we 
need to understand why Voldemort survived his own powerful AK curse 
implies that Harry will need to find it out himself.  Maybe if Harry 
can undo the spell(s), Voldie will die of natural causes?  Lose his 
powers? Ok, maybe not, but I'm sure it will be more complex than 
just using an Unforgivable curse, which Jo has clearly 
labelled "unforgivable", or even just outright killing.  My personal 
belief is that Harry will defeat Voldemort and yet not end up a 
murderer.  How, I have no idea.  I have some faith in JK!
