This immediately came to mind when I started to think about what I 
had just read and theorize about what would happen in the future. 
Voldemort intended Harry's death to be his final horcrux. If there's 
any special preparation he needed to make before the kill to harness 
that portion of his soul that became detached from the rest, then it 
needed a home. Could it have found one in Harry? And in that case, 
would Harry have to destroy *himself* before VDM could be destroyed? 
This would fulfill the meaning of the prophecy, and then the rest of 
the order could take on Voldemort. I don't know how much I believe in 
this theory, but I think it's worth considering.
