I agree with you. I think Harry will have to take Voldemort through
the Veil to kill him, and sacrifice himself. Probably because Harry
can't find all the Horcruxes and can't "kill" Voldemort. If Harry
can't kill Voldemort he has to take him out of circulation and the
only way to do that to an immortal is take them through the veil to
whatever lies beyond. The veil is one of those pervasive symbols of
death and transformation present in many cultures. It has to be
really important.
And what of the nature of what lies through the veil? For want of
a better name, it has to be the "afterlife" but sort of a Hitchiker's
Guide to the Galaxy version of the Afterlife. You can be alive when
you go through the veil but you can't come back so you are dead once
you go through it. But it represents a thin membrane between this
life and the next.
