>HP woudn't be the first story to use this sort of narrative twist anyway. The most prominent recent example would of course be AMERICAN BEAUTY (which actually breaks *several* narrative rules to lovely effect), but a couple of others would be LOLITA (Humbert has died by the time the narrative framework starts) and HAMLET.

And as you can become a ghost, the last couple of paragraphs could still be from Harry's POV! I would hate him to die, but I have to admit I can quite easily see him sacrifcing himself to kill V and save the world etc.

Lucy, who really hopes no-one like HRH, Hagrid, Sirius or Remus die, but wouldn't mind Dobby dying!
