Conan Doyle *hated* Holmes, and only brought him back because the outcry was so great (I'm grateful, I'm a big Holmes fan). JKR seems to like Harry, and I don't think she would just kill him off because she doesn't want to write him anymore. 

However, she has said that Book 7 is the last book, and hasn't she had these books planned out for awhile? Besides, Conan Doyle didn't have a mass fan base writing fan fics about Holmes at the time he was writing. Now he does, but he's dead, and other people are writing Holmes stories or making movies about him. Perhaps Harry's story will be continued by another author. Well, someone brought up that point already, but as I've mentioned on HP4GU, I have this terrible habit of deleting anything that doesn't contain the word 'Snape' in it. :D

-Acire, who thinks Holmes reminds her slightly of Snape (not good-looking, yet women find him attractive, intelligent, cold, witty) and thinks that's why she likes him (Holmes).
