Just how far are Harry and Voldemort combined? Do portions of
Harry 'know' that they are not Voldemort, do portions of
Voldemort 'know' that they are not Harry?
Voldemort seems fairly one-dimensional now - did he ever have a
conscience and if so, has he discarded it along the way? Did he think
it unnecessary and inconvenient, and popped it into a horcrux? Did
he lose it to Harry at Godric's Hollow?
Just supposing Voldemort got all his split horcrux pieces back -
either they all return to him one at a time as the horcruxes are
destroyed, say, or they are attracted to Harry's torn horcrux soul
portion, and Harry collects them all up, maybe along with that
conscience, and gives them back to Voldemort, or - insert preferred
alternative theory here : )
Could Harry's pure heart work on Voldemort's conscience? Is the power
of Harry's pure heart stronger than Voldemort's will, now that
Voldemort has divided his soul into so many parts? Could Harry
possess Voldemort, giving him access to his conscience again? If
Voldemort gets his conscience back, purified through a Harry who
knows the details of and has condemned each one of Voldemort's
horcrux murders, will he perhaps condemn himself and accept his own
death as the price he must pay?
Just speculating

who joined this list on the crest of a wave of righteous indignation
at JKR for shoving Sirius Black through the veil without redemption,
when his character was such a promising candidate for it, and is
consequently trigger-happy and keen to redeem everybody, whether
they're ready or not.
