Harry, Hermione and Ron go to the Shrieking Shack, where they see Voldemort kill Snape, believing this will transfer the Elder wand's power to him. As he dies, Snape gives up memories to Harry, which reveal that Snape was on Dumbledore's side, motivated by his lifelong love of Lily Potter. Snape was asked by Dumbledore to kill him if the situation demands it; the curse placed on the horcrux ring limited his life, regardless. Resigned to his fate, Harry sacrifices himself to Voldemort, and is seemingly killed, although it is unclear if he actually dies. Meeting the deceased Albus Dumbledore in what appears to be a deserted Kings Cross station, he discovers he was the final horcrux and needed to die before Voldemort can be killed finding that the spell destroyed the part of Voldemort's soul he had inside himself. He also discovers Dumbledore himself sought the Hallows, with Grindlewald, for less than noble reasons; only Harry is worthy. He returns to consciousness/life inside Hogwarts, for a final duel with Voldemort. Nagini, the last horcrux, is killed by Neville using Gryffindor's sword pulled from the sorting hat. Comming face to face with Voldemort, Harry is seemingly faced with impossible odds - with Voldemort posessing the Elder wand, he cannot be beaten in a duel with Harry. However, Harry gambles correctly that Draco Malfoy was the true master of the Elder Wand, not Snape - by Disarming Malfoy, the mastership of the wand has passed to Harry, not Voldemort. When Voldemort strikes Harry with the killing curse from the Elder wand it rebounds on himself, due to Harry's mastership of the wand, killing himself once and for all.
