 In celtic heroic stories ,the hero always dies young so that he will 
be remembered at the height of his powers.His death is usually in an 
heroic act but he doesn't die because of lack of skill on his 
part,there is some trickery and cheating done by his enemy.So this 
could be a possibility. 
But the stories are all told from Harrys point of view, if he died do 
you think it would be strange to have the events afterwards from 
anothers pov? I know that wouldn't be a good enough reason for JKR to 
change who is going to die but we can all hope!
