I found an interesting interview - JKR in 1999 at Barnes and 
Noble. It would seem that JKR , at that time, was unwilling to say 
that she ABSOLUTELY would kill off Harry- there was a slim, very 
remote chance that she would even consider another Harry book 
after the seven planned. Another thing that made me glad, I like 
Lupin too, is this:JKR says that in bk 3 "... Professor Lupin 
appears, and he is one of my favorite characters in all seven 
books." With regard to the death of Harry in bk 7, JKR answered 
a question about the possibility of a follow-up after book 7: ...So, 
there is a remote possibility that there will another Harry book, 
but at the present time I am planning only seven." And, Has 
Aragog already reappeared since PoA? Crookshanks and the 
magical car will also have more to do, according to this interview.
