Yes.  For "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord" 
read "The one with the power to destroy the Horcruxes".  As no harm 
whatsoever came to Harry when he destroyed the diary, maybe he can 
destroy them without their being able to destroy him.  In that case 
does this provide the 'get out clause' that so many want?  That 
having disposed of the Horcruxes, Harry may not necessarily have to 
be the one who literally kills Voldemort himself.  A well placed AK, 
or drop of poison in a drink from someone close (Snape anyone?) once 
the last Horcrux is dealt with may suffice?  Or in the throws of a 
final battle scenario anyone fighting on the side of The Order who 
manages to get a 'direct hit' into him may just do the trick.
