Harry will defeat Voldemort through the power of possession (one of the powers that he acquired at Godric's Hollow but doesn't know about yet). The idea is that the pain caused by Harry's possessing him (Love and all that) would drive Possessed!LV through the Veil, leaving Harry's body outside. LV would have to stay there as Sirius does, being dead but not murdered, but the spare soul inside him (Harry's) would not have to stay there.  After Harry spoke, using Voldemort's voice, to reveal his presence, Dead!Sirius would lend Soul!Harry his body so that Harry could return through the Veil.  Harry would then reenter his own body, and Black's body would be available for burial (he would not return from the dead, nor would Harry, who was only possessing Voldemort and not dead).

Okay, it's rather far-fetched and gruesome, but I like it better than
Horcrux!Harry because it would allow Harry to live and to destroy
Voldemort without committing murder and using Voldemort's own powers
against him.

Carol, who doesn't consider Dumbledore and the adults in general a
bunch of incompetents but isn't arguing that point at the moment>
   
  
Melanie's reply:  Gosh that is just depressing to me.  To me the idea of Sirius's soul hanging out with a live Voldemort just makes me want to cringe.  
   
I still say the most likely outcome of the books is Harry going to "heaven" which in my mind is behind the veil and finally meeting his parents and of course having Sirius introduce them.  I just think that is the sweetest and most sincere way to end the books.  I can't imagine Harry ever being happy after all of this and going on to live this normal life with Ginny.  IT's just strange to me.
