The story ends on a high note, and Harry has won the battle, but the the reader can see that the war has just begun. Voldemort, though thwarted, has indeed survived, and he will likely attempt other ways to restore his body, biding his time before launching another assault on Harry and the Wizarding world.
In this we can see some similarities to Niccolò Machiavelli's 16th century political treatise, ''The Prince'', which advocates that to obtain or maintain power, a prince should adopt a moral public facade while secretly implementing whatever extreme amoral methods are necessary to gain and retain control, without regard to the individual or civil rights. That belief has even been utilized in the modern era by dictators such as Adolph Hitler to fuel his rise to power in mid-20th century Germany. The series' overall theme of good vs evil and which path, dark or light, a wizard can and will choose to follow will seem blurred by Voldemort, who cares about neither. Though his overall plan is yet unclear, he may want to keep his presence concealed and true intentions ambiguous while insidiously plotting to take control. This would make it difficult for Voldemort's opponents to fight him if he has solidified and entrenched his power structure once he does emerge. While we will see that Voldemort apparently cares little for appearances, his pubic persona, once he reveals himself, may be to espouse principles and ideals crafted to appeal to those already bent towards his beliefs and who will further support his rise to power, rather than presenting a moralistic image for the good of all; it would seem doubtful that Voldemort intends for others to reap benefits from his takeover, and he may instead use simplistic rewards and penalties to try and retain his power.
