Yes, and to me, it would also be a cop-out.  Just as having Harry 
wake up and say to himself, "Whoa, what a weird dream I had!!"

It's almost too neat, in a way, and life isn't like that.  Good 
things happen and bad things happen, and sometimes the bad stuff 
happens to good people and the bad people get away with their 
crimes.  Life is like that - it can't be neatly wrapped up.  I want 
to think that, at the end of the 7th book, we will still have 
characters to discuss - how they made it through the dark days, did 
it change them, how will they cope going forward?  

Having the series end with "and they all died, as Harry felt the 
burning in his scar."  will leave me very disappointed.

Marianne, who gets comfort out of thinking that there are fictional 
characters who live forever....
