Will Harry Die? Or just "defeat" Voldemort?

I can't for the life of me figure out how Harry could "defeat" Voldemort without killing him.  And by the way I don't think that killing someone in pitched equal battle is the kind of "murder" that will split your soul.  I think the soul splitting murder has to  be with extreme cruelty.  Else every soldier would have a split soul.
 
Logically, "defeat" would be that state of being 180 degrees from Voldemort's present state, pure evil, i.e., pure good.  So Harry would have to do something to Voldemort that makes him "good"?  What about Harry vanquishes him in battle and spares his life?  Then Voldemort is beholden to Harry and bound by allegiance to protect Harry (or whatever happens when one wizard saves another wizard's life) so he can't be bad any more or else he would, what, die or something?  What do people think of this?
 
This is why I think he will vanquish him by taking him alive through the veil.  It must be weird to be in the afterlife and not be actually dead, although you appear dead to those left behind in th Potterverse.
