Ah, but what if Voldemort, as we know him know, is not "truly alive"?  What if he isn't because Harry is, because Harry has the last piece of Voldie's soul, and the Voldie being we see now is actually soulless?  Admittedly, this causes some problems, the least of which are "How is Voldemort persisting in any state without a soul" and "Harry must give Voldemort's soul piece back and kill him all at once", etc.  Lot of junk to wade through to come up with a plausible theory, I'm still working on it in my head, but I'm not ready to dismiss the idea that Harry actually has either the 6th or 7th part of Voldemort's soul somehow.
