This is true. Or, he might be forced to pick up someone elses wand. But in the end, I 
can't help but feel we've HAD the wand duels. Big ones. I seriously think that the end 
of LV will come in a different way. Is it really going to be Big Wand Duel #3? Honestly, 
it may all totally hinge on the ability to forgive. If Harry could *honestly* feel 
forgiveness for LV, it would IMO, make him completely impervious to LV, which 
might, in itself, be enough to kill him off, clear Harry of actually having to be a 
murderer (which, pointed out in OoTP, bothers him and he even says he can't kill 
people), would be totally in keeping of sacrificial love, and would be something that 
LV simply could not understand in any way shape or form. Could just confund him 
into oblivion. How this would be achieved, I certainly know not, but we've seen the 
other sides of things that makes us doubt what we know. Be a tidy way to finish and 
would provide the "proof" JKR talks about in slaying the "you aren't a Christian" she 
has mentioned (although, I have to say, I've no idea why she ever said this or worried 
about it enough to say something like it. If people can't see the morality issues in 
these works they haven't, apparently, read them.)
