Mmm... no, I don't think so. It was pretty clear (to me at least) from the 
prophecy in book 5 that one would have to kill the other. "Either must die 
at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives" 
(And no, Dumbledore makes it clear that it is Harry, not Neville, that was 
'chosen'). Pretty sure that Voldemort bites it in the end- the question is 
rather one of does Harry survive, or does he have to sacrifice himself to 
kill Voldemort?

My bet is that the final showdown happens in the room with the veil, and 
one or the other goes through it.
