 My curiousity was, are some spells more dangerous spoken than non-
verbal and where/what is the difference?  In the DoM battle, there are 
no non-verbal spells except the one used on Hermione after whosit 
was 'Silencio'd' by Harry.  

Since revealing the prophecy in OoTP-which appears to be that Harry 
will indeed be on a hero's quest (a journey to seek out and destroy 
the four horcruxes and ultimately destroy Voldemort)but as in all of 
these type of literary quests, the final battle with Voldemort must be 
fought by him alone.  Book seven appears to be following the path of 
so many works of literature, leading to the conclusion that Harry will 
succeed all alone, without any help from fate, family or friends. 

Or will he?  Is this where love comes in? His ability to love others, 
which inspires others to love him inspiring fierce loyalty will give 
him the assistance and the support he needs--perhaps in some capacity 
all who have known and loved Harry will be there with him at the end. 
Harry will tap into that power, the power that Voldemort knows not 
because he believes it doesn't really exist. 

I can't fathom an ending where Harry meets up with Voldemort and 
summons all his hatred and is able to wack him with AK. Does that feel 
satisfying to anyone else? I think JKR is heavily foreshadowing non-
verbal spells, learning to control thoughts and read thoughts for the 
ultimate show down.  A meeting of the minds, where Harry experiences 
evil and Voldemort experiences love.  I think Voldemort can be 
destroyed if he can be made to feel guilt and regret by Harry. 

I think he will destroy himself.
