Tonks here:

WOW!!! What a great post.  I am very impressed. I like what you have 
said, it does make sense. Now how are we going to destroy LV? Harry 
can not use an AK curse because that would make him a killer and JKR 
is not going there.  She will not have Harry kill; Harry is too full 
of love to do that. 

Your theory makes sense in the possession scene in the MoM, when LV 
wanted DD to kill Harry. When LV possessed Harry his separated parts 
were together again and then when Harry was dead LV would have been 
able to put himself into DD.  LV has a body now, but having a body 
must not be enough. Whatever it is that is in Harry LV needs back. 
Hummm... Is it his power that went into Harry? (I don't like the 
sound of that, because I never liked the ideas that Harry would have 
to give up his powers and live as a Muggle in order to defeat LV.)

SO it seems that LV can't be killed. It will have to be some ancient 
magic that LV has forgotten about. He does have a bad memory at 
times! 

And I don't think that Harry can commit suicide, because JKR would 
not do that with a world full of impressionable teenagers watching. 
No, not good role modeling. Where does that leave us? How can LV be 
destroyed? Is killing and destroying the same thing?

Since I tend to look for the theology in JKR's work let me point out 
something here.  In RL if a person kills someone that person has 
taken a part of the force of evil into themselves.  I have written 
about this, in great detail, elsewhere in the past.  So from a 
theological perspective this does fit with what I think JKR is 
trying to do in the books.  I will say more about this later.  (Are 
you listening Hans?)
