Book 7: The end of Voldemort

It's been a while since I visited HPfGUs, but I was contemplating HP 
the other day, and I came up with a theory as to how Harry will kill 
Voldy without having to turn evil.

My assumptions are:

1) Harry will survive book 7 because it started out a children's 
book, and so the ending will need to be "happy" (this is also why I 
don't think Dumbledore is dead, but that is a discussion for another 
post). Not really a good children's story if the main hero is killed 
off in the end.

2) Voldemort dies. Also because a good children's story doesn't leave 
kiddies wondering if Voldemort will come back to get Harry later on - 
I don't think we will be left in any doubt.

3) Harry doesn't turn evil, and wont AK Voldemort. A hero cant go 
round killing people, it just isn't right.

So, if Voldy must die, but Harry can't do it, how does it happen?

Enter the Mirror of Erised. Voldy and Harry are facing off in the 
final battle (which takes place at Hogwarts). Harry has destroyed all 
the horcruxes, only Voldy to go. Voldy chases Harry through the 
castle casting AKs left right and centre, until finally he has Harry 
trapped - or does he?? He thinks it is Harry, because it is his one 
desire, but it is actually just a "reflection" in the Mirror of 
Erised he is advancing on. The Harry in the mirror does everything 
Voldy hopes he will do, cowering, wincing, pleading, etc. Finally, 
Voldy casts an AK at the mirror but the spell rebounds, and his own 
cruelty and arrogance kills him.

This is also when Dumbledore reappears: "Well done Harry" (in the 
throaty Dumbledore voice), but again... another post.

So, what do you think - Voldemort too caught up in his own self 
importance to realise what he is about to do. The Mirror of Erised 
getting a revival. Voldemort's first downfall was from a rebounding 
curse, why not his last.
