I like this as well.  The thought of Harry having to kill (vanquish, 
destroy, etc) disturbs me.  I realized that the Dementors could be 
used to ultimately deny Voldemort of life.  Sucking his soul would 
render him 'perished', wouldn't it? And the destruction of the 
Horcruxes would prevent him from rising again.  This seems a lot 
less traumatic than having Harry AV him.
