I remember reading, not too long ago, a horror series (only 2 books that I can't for the life of me remember the titles of) where the protagonists were all children.  And one of the main protagonists was killed!  I had NEVER encountered such an occurrence before.  I remember thining at the time,  "He broke the rules!  You don't have the hero die in such an awful manner!  The author broke the rules!"  I was so upset and put the book down for about 2 weeks before I could bring myself to pick it up again.  That's how much it unnerved me.  Anyway (and here I'm about to commit blasphemy), I've found that Jo breaks the rules very easily, but within the context of the story.  And that's why I believe that Harry will die, probably in book 7.

JKR has  gameplan and whoever does die, she will have let us know what  his/her/their sacrifices were and why it was necessary.  I trust her  to take us where we need to be.  And, no matter exactly *who* it will  be, I will be needing a box of tissues and major therapy from y'all  to work through my grief.
