While this is an interesting thought, I just can't imagine the books going on 
without Harry. They're about Harry, from his point of view, and center 
primarily on Harry's feelings and thought. While JRK does surprise us often, 
and while she did ask why we were so sure that Harry would live through the 
whole series, i really can't see the books without him. Without Harry, 
there'd be no series
