Harry as Survivor

Hello,
I'm new, so I don't know if this has been discussed to death but I 
would just like to offer some thoughts on who will die [shudder].  I 
have read some previous posts and while I agree that most of the 
characters, my beloved Lupin, Sirius and Hargid among others will 
die, I've always felt certain that Harry will definitely live.  I 
want to say Harry, Ron and Hermione but I don't want to push it.

And my reason for saying Harry will survive is simply this: that is 
who Harry is.  Not just a great Seeker, or possibly an all-powerful 
wizard, but someone who always endures; he is essentially the Boy Who 
Lived.  He has escaped Voldemort on numerous occasions, but he has 
also toughed it out at the Dursleys and deals with betrayal and 
ostracism very well.  My boy will survive.  At what cost I know not.  
Any thoughts?  Could someone convince me that L, S and H will not die?
