Maria:
I agree with Luckdragon, Harry doesn't have to kill Voldy. By 
vanquishing Voldy, means Harry have to vanquish Voldy's powers 
and I guess if Dumbledore is alive somehow that is what he would 
be working on to find ways to help Harry vanquish Voldy's power. 
He had to do his master plan (his death) to be able to work 
undetected by everybody, especially Voldemort and at the same 
time help Harry. 

Rememeber in the Order of the Phoenix when Dumbledore told Voldy 
that there are other ways of destroying a man? I guess what he 
means then is by stripping Voldy of his powers. What could be 
more worse than death for a wizard than being alive and without 
power/magic and live like a muggle? Can you imagine Voldy living 
like a muggle again? Much worse than before he went to Hogwarts 
because then in the end he would not have any power or any 
magical ability anymore. Just a thought and I would go for it the 
JKR will make an ending like this.
