I've already got the seed of a solution which I'll be fleshing out and posting formally, later.
(And it took me half an hour after coming up with it, to get here, register, and figure out how to post.)

Solution submitted. Thus far, this thread does not include mention of what I would consider to be Harry's greatest weapon.
He hasn't just been practicing "partial transfiguration". He's been successfully practicing discarding any notion of time, space, object or causality, in toto.
To clarify: if you do away with time, you also radically change the meaning of space. It's all just wave equations.
I can't bold that big enough.

After 5 minutes of thinking about it, the only thing I could come up with concerns:
Bellatrix and Sirius are stars, and also Death Eaters. Voldemort has already torn apart Bellatrix to use the Dark Mark, and Harry can tear apart Sirius with the Partial Transfiguration trick people are talking about. How do we know Sirius is present? Because there is a Death Eater named "Mr Grim" who is stated to have known the Potters.
Hang on, isn't Sirius in Azkaban?
The "he" refers to both Tom Riddles, as they are branches of the same person.
Troubles with this suggestion:
The "HE IS THE END OF THE WORLD" part remains unresolved.
Narratively unsatisfying.
"End" can also mean "goal". This is somewhat interesting in light of EY's work at MIRI.
