Goddlefrood;

Having looked over the original theory, I must say it seems 
inordinately unlikely to me. Lord Voldemort may be arguably 
certifiable, but he's not dumb. In order to kill himself with 
an AK reflecting from the Mirror of Erised he'd have to be one 
of the world's greatest suckers, and, well, he simply is not.

Additionally the Mirror of Erised is an inanimate object and all 
the inanimate objects we have so far seen hit by AKs (think of 
the Magical Brethren in the MoM or the masonry the blond Death 
Eater took large chunks out of during the field day at Hogwarts) 
have smashed. Why would the Mirror of Erised be any different? 

In my opinion it would simply be obliterated and shatter into 
many disparate parts were an AK to hit it.

The idea that a rebounding curse may finish off LV is not wholly 
without its merit, but the idea that this would be a rebounding 
AK off anything but an animate being is one that is rather too 
much to swallow.

It's actually rather unlikely, IMO, that LV will be finished by 
any kind of hate spell, but rather more likely, in my divination, 
that a love spell would finish him. It is those I expect Harry 
to become familiar with somewhere during the course of DH and 
I'd go further and say that it will be something that is based 
on the use of Dragon's blood. Not unlinked to the protections 
placed on him by a certain Lily Potter, with a little help from 
the man in charge, one Albus Dumbledore.

Lily found out about the ancient magic, as LV called it, from 
someone, who better than DD? Or perhaps, as has been stated 
earlier, the spell to neutralise LV will be the one DD used 
in the Atrium during their discourse. That spell is not one 
that can be lightly disregarded in the overall scheme of things, 
and if we hear a gong to sound LV's downfall, then I for one 
would not be completely taken aback.

btw, Dumbledore is dead, dead, dead, sorry, but possibly not 
totally without his uses.

Unless of course I've misunderstood you.
