Snape here:

The first book had Harry dreaming of being free, and then he was for 
part of the time.  He even woke up the next day thinking that he had 
had the most wonderful dream of being a wizard. 

The other books seem to have some dream reference in them at one 
time or another, in CoS it is the Tom Riddle memory sequence, Harry 
had found himself on his bed lying back after he was through with 
the memory.  In PoA doesn't he have a dream of the grim (AKA 
Sirius)? And Ootp his dreams are the source of much pain and 
eventually the cause of Sirius' death. In GoF the book opens with 
Harry dreaming the death of a muggle, but he didn't see it through 
the eyes of LV, it was as if he was standing there with everyone 
else. He saw Peter, the old man, Nagini, and LV as Peter turned the 
chair around.  HMMM? I thought he was seeing through LV's eyes for 
the rest of the book. Kind of interesting, never noticed that before.

The reason I came up with that one is, truthfully, it just came to 
me.  If you have ever seen the movie Wisdom with Emilio Esteves and 
Demi Moore, the whole movie is a imagined reality and at the end 
after everone is killed, the main character sits up in his bed and 
starts his day, just as the movie started.

And yes, I think it would be very sad, but an ending that no one 
would see coming.  But I really hope it doesn't go that way, I like 
to think that JKR's reality in her books is real in the books, not a 
fevered dream of a child that is caught in a hopeless living 
situation.
