Bart:
I see Voldemort dying in an advanced version of the legendary monkey trap (the one where there is a piece of fruit in a jar that is attached to the ground. The fruit is about as wide as the opening in the jar. A monkey reaches in, but finds there is not enough room for the fruit AND its hand, and remains trapped because of its refusal to let go of the fruit). Harry will be in a position where he can save Voldemort's life, but _CAN_ (note the emphasis) only do so if Voldemort gives up something precious (like the last Horcrux).
