Combining this post with your other post that describes H falling in 
love with G at the beginning of Book 5, you have written a clear and 
entertaining explanation of your plot, and ended it with the word 
that we have been told will end the series. I don't think it is an 
accurate prediction of what JKR is going to do, partly because I just 
don't believe that she would be so cynical as to create a Harry 
Potter Junior just in case she wants to cash in on some more books. 
Sure, it can be argued that for the hero to die gloriously but leave 
behind a child to comfort the reader that life goes on is both an 
archetypal story and an example of real life (tm), in which human 
beings die but the human species goes on. However, my intuition is 
that JKR's epic is following some other archetype.

Why did you pick Ginny rather than Hermione (or Mary-Sue)? Is it that 
you perceive Ginny as having a great big loving heart with no 
ambition to be distracted by, and thus more able to swamp Harry in an 
ocean of unconditional love, or that you're sure that Hermione 
belongs with Ron (or Viktor)?
