Alternatives to magic.

It occurs to me that if Harry does kill Voldie, it might not be by magic.

Think about it.  Voldie has probably warded himself against any possible magical
attack, and Harry is certainly not up to taking him on in a duel arcane.  But
Voldie probably, given his utter conviction of Muggle inferiority, not
considered Muggle methods.

Harry is a tall, strong, athletic young man.  What if he went upside Voldie's
head with a cricket bat?  I'm sure that Aunt Petunia has lots of knives in her
kitchen, and as conscientious a housekeeper as she is, I'm sure she keeps them
very sharp.  

I'm speculating that Harry kills LV by a very mundane Muggle means---and that it
will not be instantaneous, but will take enough time that LV knows that he was
done in by a completely nonmagical means.  That knowledge, given his utter
contempt for Muggles and their ways, would be more bitter than death itself for
him.
