I just think that death is an inevitable fact of life that we (children or not) have to deal with whether it is a likable person whom we have become attached to or not.  It would be a devastation to have a lovable character killed off, don't get me wrong, but whether the character is likable or not, should not be the determining factor IMHO.

Just a quick thought here - keeping with the 'Harry is written as a 
children's book for children' theme, would JKR really kill off such a 
major player that children (like us) have become so attached to??

really have to wonder if JKR would sugar coat the idea of evil/good 
by NOT killing off a character near and dear to our hearts.  I 
personally LOVE Hermione.  She is by far my favorite character and I 
would hate to see her killed off, but I have to wonder.  Should it 
not be Hermione or Ron, I do believe it will be a character such as 
one of the Weasley twins, or possibly Neville.
