What a yummy question!

I so much want Harry to survive and have a chance of happiness 
without any Dursleys, dementors or Dark Lords in the background. You 
know, a pretty pretty cinematic ending involving owls or brooms or 
hippogriffs (and of course a scenic Scottish loch). With a great 
future as an Auror ahead of him. I'm quite sure Warner Bros have 
storyboarded it that way already...

But

In bookworld, I think he might croak it. 
I can't see what other ending could be final enough for book 7. 
Given what he has been through in the last few years, and given that 
what JKR has planned for him is even worse, Harry will be lucky to 
reach the end of book 7 with an intact mind let alone body and 
soul... I just can't see much possibility for a happy ending by the 
end of the series if he loses any more of his near and dear. 

I'm going to be so scared to turn the pages of the next two books 
after the shock of Sirius. I don't think I'll dare to read them in 
public places in case of sudden onset of grief!
