I was jus thinking of a way that the dream ending could be done but without losign the reality of Hogwarts.  It happeneed in a Hanson (bear with me) fan fiction I read a few years ago, where the various fan story goes on and then the last chapter is Taylor waking up at age 5 or so, and asking his brothers something about the band.  They were like "Band?  Huh?"  Of course, the reader knows that they did become a band, so the events in the story seem like they will happen; that his dream is telling the future (there's a word for that, I'm sure).  Well, Rowling could possibly end it with 11 year old Harry waking from a bizarre but awesome dream, his Aunt Petunia telling him to get up and get the mail, and him discovering a letter addressed to Mr. H. Potter, etc.  Then we would know that the events actually *do* happen.  I seriously doubt this will happen, but it's another thoguht out there.  I think this is the only dream ending I could maybe be satisfied with.

Now could anyone tell me a reason why this won't work?  I really don't want it to work.  Please?
