Actually, I think that it would make the series mean more if Evil won.  It 
might just be me, but whenever I read a book (or series) and the good guys 
win, I very easily forget it.  Quite frankly, I don't think anyone will ever 
"win", someone will just temporarily have more power.  Of course, the only 
battle that we're really concerned with is against Lord Voldemort.  If Evil 
won, it would make the books mean more (at least to me) and they would be 
more true to life.  Good doesn't always defeat Evil.  I think that it would 
teach a more important lesson if Voldemort defeated the Good - or if no one 
won at all.

What's the Spanish word for caliente?
Who's with the band?  I'm not with the band?  Do you know anyone with the 
band?  I don't know anyone with the band.  Is there a band here?
I see you shiver, with antici.........................pation.
Don't dream it, be it.
War is peace.  Freedom is slavery.  Ignorance is strength.
No better way to celebrate a holy day than with demonstration of
ignorance.
If you can see the bandwagon, it's too late to get on.
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are you would never 
think another negative thought.
If you dwell on what you don't want, you'll get more of it.
The only time you were ever at peace in your whole life 
was when you were dead.
