Well, of course, there is no real canon to support it;
it is a wild, crazy, and unlikely theory. But still
all the pieces for such an end to come into play are 
now there in the book. Further this idea plays on themes
that have been implied both in the books and outside 
them. 

JKR has said that when we read the end of the series we
will see clearly that she is a Christian (or word to that
effect). That's one of the reason why I like my 'Behind
the Veil and Back' theory, because it contains a 
resurrection theme. This new scenario also carries a
resurrection theme. In it, in a manner of speaking, 
Harry comes back from the 'dead' to save the day. 

So, even though canon does not strongly hint at this
idea, the pieces for this to take place are all there. 

As far as the Dark Magic aspect of it, this goes back
to how we define Dark Magic. Is it dark because of how
it is used, or is there something in the making of it
that makes it dark regardless of how it is used? Is it
dark because it is used for evil, or is it dark because
it is created out of evil (more or less)?

People have said that Harry would never accept this 
option, but that is normal Harry, and I am not talking
about normal Harry. He is not planning to live a
disembodied life, nor to exist for eternity wandering
the earth as a bit of smoke and vapor. Harry seems 
the type to pick Life or Death, but accept nothing 
in between.

Consequently, I think Harry would chose to find a means
of re-embodiment over a life in limbo. I think he would
chose to fight to the death rather than exist on the
sidelines as an bodiless and helpless observer. 

Even though you won't find direct canon, the foreshadowing
and canon are merely that all the necessary parts exist in
canon for this speculative result to also exist. 

I'm sure will will also find that far crazier and far less
founded ideas have been speculated in the past, and will
likely be speculated again before July.

It was just a thought.
