At least one of the following is very likely to be true:
the story will end with Voldemort winning
Dumbledore isn't really trapped
Voldemort will be trapped in time or in an inescapable magical container. He has far too many horcruxes around to have the same fate as in the original canon.
There are a few suspicious things with the ending of this chapter. Harry is, at the time being, completely defeated. Why are dozens of Death Eaters required to keep their wands on him? Voldemort could easily take his wand away and maybe even restrain him if needed. This precaution seems as if Voldemort was panicking.
Or he's behaving like the original Voldemort, right before he throws the duel with Harry and disappears to take on an identity more to his liking.
Or he knows there is now a second prophesy constraint in place.
