other ways to destroy Voldemort

I do not believe for a second that Harry will "kill" Voldemort or 
even attempt an Avada Kedavra.  

There was a big scene in OoTP with the closed ward where Neville's 
parents appeared and Gilderoy Lockhart reappeared.  To use Draco's 
phrase, the ward for people with "Brains that had been addled by 
magic."  Maybe it will have larger significance to the plot?  Maybe 
Voldemort will end up that way.  It would ensure that he was no 
threat (if he can't remember anything, he can't remember to take 
over the WW, right?).  

I can think of a few possible ways that this might happen - 
* Voldemort tries to possess Harry for too long and Harry's power of 
love drives him insane
*  with his Horcruxes destroyed, Voldemort doesn't have enough soul 
left to function normally

The only problem I see is that the prophecy reads, "either must die 
at the hand of the other," and in this scenario Voldemort would not 
be dead.  (Well, spiritually he would be I guess.)

They would have to station security around the ward to prevent other 
people from assassinating him!!

(wondering if the WW has the death penalty or if Sirius was a 
special case when he escaped from Azkaban)
(wondering if there are other prisons besides Azkaban for petty 
thieves and other minor criminals)
(wondering why what Lockhart did with his permanent memory charms is 
not considered Unforgivable, whereas even a brief Imperio would be)
