I think the best bet for what's going to happen is the theory of Harry being a horcrux. why else would Voldemort need Harry's blood to get his body back? If there was another way to get his body back such as a spell or potion he wouldn't have bothered with a horcrux to begin with. so that's the only real possibility as to how he came back. Also, you need to kill someone in order to split your soul, and i think (but am not sure) that it works better if you kill a more powerful wizrd or an enemy. That's why Voldemort went to the potters' house. He wanted to make a horcrux from the death of James who was an enemy, and, because he had heard the prophesy, he wanted the last horcrux to come from harry's death so that it would be the most powerful. That's why he said that Lily didn't have to die, he only wanted harry. It didn't work however. She sacrificed herself to save harry and harry survived, so, the last death voldemort used for a horcrux was harry's mother which is why Harry has some of voldemort's power, and, to garantee victory(supposedly) he made harry a horcrux because harry is the only one who can stop him he would need to be alive to kill him, but as long as he is alive, voldemort can't be killed.

cummon guys, play nice!
my theory is that we're misreading the prophecy. There is hidden meaning behind it which we're leaving behind. Look...
The One with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies....and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...The one with the power to vaquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...
PART 1: "the dark lord will mark him as his equal"
Here is one of the hidden pieces. The dark lord was ALWAYS afraid of death (That's why he created his horcrux, and that's why he uses death as his main weapon). He is also afraid of love, beucase by allowing himself to love he'd become volnerable to pain and death.
So, Voldemort hears there is a person who can vanquish him, and his fear of death makes him go kill the potters without even knowing the rest of the prophecy. Harry, who is saved by the love of his mother, has a preternatal connection to both Death and Love. Harry knows of Death, and is not afraid of it. In the Death Room at the end of Book 5, Harry is drawn to Death, to the voices behind the veil, unlike the others (apart from Luna). Harry's connection to Death allows him to love without fear.
So when Voldemort marked Harry he didn't only pass down some of his powers, but he made him he opposite, ying and yang. The marking of Harry by Voldemort created in him the unique consciousness of Love and Death that is required to take on he who flees from Death at all costs.
"By attempting to kill you, Voldemort himself singled out the remarkable person who sits here in front of me, and gave him the tools for the job! It is Voldemort's fault that you were able to see into his thoughts, his ambitions, that you even understand the snakelike language in which he gives orders, and yet, Harry, despite your privileged insight into Voldemort's world — which, incidentally, is a gift any Death Eater would kill to have — you have never been seduced by the Dark Arts, never, even for a second, shown the slightest desire to become one of Voldemort's followers!"
"Of course I haven't! He killed my mum and dad!"
"You are protected, in short, by your ability to love. The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort's."
-Dumbledore and Harry [HPHBP, ch.24]
PART 2: "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives"
DEFINITONS OF EITHER:
#1- Any one of two; one or the other
#2- *THE ONE AND THE OTHER OF TWO*
DEFINITION OF NEITHER:
#1- Not one or the other; not either
So, rephrasing
"Both Harry and Voldemort will die at the hand of the other, because not one or the other can live while the other is alive."
Prediction: Since they complete each other, Harry and Voldemort will reunite (maybe like they did in OOTP). Harry, being able to love beyond all costs and not being afraid of death, will take his own life, and Voldemorts.

Anyways, I just go tthis crazy idea that Ginny will be killed in book 7. But not by Voldemort. No, by SNAPE. Which will cause Harry to destroy him. That'll be fun.
Note: If we already have one, my bad. I'm too lazy to use search.
Actually, I was thinking Malfoy might be killed by Voldemort because of how he failed to kill Dumbledore. 😕
