End of Harry Potter Series

It struck me as I reread the books that Rowling has been 
foreshadowing the ending of the Harry Potter series all the way 
through the books:  Unfortunately, I think she is going to have Harry 
awake from a dream, at the age of 17 or 18, living with the Dursleys -
- with a thought that he had just had some incredible, fantastic 
dream. And then he will set about his life, as an ordinary person. 
That way, we won't have to wonder what happened to everyone 
throughout the years to come, and so on.
 
(Example reference: Chamber of Secrets, Chapter One, page 8, hardback 
edition:  "What wouldn't he give now for a message from Hogwarts? 
>From any witch or wizard? He'd almost be glad of a sight of his arch-
enemy, Draco Malfoy, just to be sure it hadn't all been a dream...")
 
There are numerous references like that throughout the books about 
this just being a dream, that was only a dream, Harry expecting to 
wake and find he had only dreamed this or that had happened, etc.
 
It would be a tidy way to end the series -- but I hope I am wrong, 
don't you?
