JW:
True, but I do not understand the relevency.  There is every reason 
to believe that JKR, given her philosophies, would avoid killing if 
there was a clever way to eliminate LV.  There is certainly no 
requirement to kill LV, and a fate worse than death (as foreshadowed 
by DD in OotP) might be a more appropriate punishment.  

As a point of comparison, can you find any evidence that DD killed 
Grindelwald(spelling?)?  For example, DD's chocolate frog card 
indicates that DD *DESTROYED* the dark wizard in 1945. I can find no 
detail in narrative or interview to describe the confrontation.  
Unless I have overlooked this detail, I see no reason to ASSUME that 
JKR would have the character that represents wisdom, knowledge and 
love contradict her personal beliefs.
