Interesting question.  It made me ask another: What's in it for 
Harry?  If he defeats Voldemort, then he won't have to worry about 
the freak dogging his footsteps and trying to kill him for the rest 
of his life, but what else would Harry get out of it?  Maybe he could 
achieve the same results by moving to Australia.  Would LV really 
follow Harry across the globe, or would he be happy taking over 
Europe, possibly Asia, wreaking havoc and whatever else he plans to 
do?  I suppose the ONLY obligation Harry has to defeat LV is so that 
his friends will not have to suffer from whatever psychotic reign LV 
has planned.  He doesn't owe it to anyone in the WW except Ron and 
Hermione, the ones who have stood by him through thick and thin.  DD 
certainly wasn't there when Harry was young, in fact he abandoned him 
in the Muggle world with no knowledge of what he was.  Justified or 
not, that IS what happened.  If the defeat of LV lies solely on his 
shoulders, he should be asking the WW just what he'd be getting for 
risking his neck.  Frankly, I think Harry could go disappear into the 
Muggle world.  Maybe LV could find him.  Maybe not.
