Pippin:
Voldemort was going to kill Ginny and everyone else.  Harry found a
way to stop that from happening without killing Voldemort by using his
own willingness to die to cast a spell of protection.  In effect, he
disarmed Voldemort, and  it was Voldemort's inability to accept that
he's been disarmed which led to his death.

Granted that  Harry had strategic as well as moral reasons for not
trying to kill Voldemort, but still, if he hadn't been looking for a
way to stop Voldemort without killing him, he wouldn't have found one.
