Oddly, the 'It Was All a Dream' ending was very popular point of
discussion eons ago when we were discussing possible endings for the
series. I say the discussion was popular, then ending was NOT very
well favored.

My personal speculated ending wasn't 'It's All a Dream', but 'It's All
a Book'. The book ends on July 31, just as Harry turns 18. Since he is
an adult in British society, the Durleys say they've done there bit
and turn him out. In the last scene, Harry is in his bedroom writing
the last few lines of a manuscript he has been writing since he was 11
years old.

The last line goes something like this, '... and so ends the story of
a little wizard boy with a scar'.

There is a knock at the bedroom door. It's Vernon telling Harry it's
time to go. Harry packs a few clothes and his manuscript into a
battered suitcase, walks out the door with a smile on his face, pauses
for one last look, then heads off to London where he will make his
fame and fortune with a series of books about a boy with a scar who
discovers he is a wizard.

Fade to black.
