Ever since the Veil made its appearance in OoP, I have thought that at some
stage Harry will go through it, possibly in ensuring that Voldemort goes.
Then, either your scenario will kick in, or there will be Deep Magic From
Before The Dawn Of Time (ok, ok, I know that's not JKR) which says that if
someone goes through the Veil Voluntarily and for a Great Cause, then he
can come back.

Or Harry may go through after certain preparations...remember what Snape
said he could do with his potions in PS/SS ...'even stopper death'. I've
often wondered about that.

Another possible scenario; to conquer Voldemort, Harry needs certain
information which only Sirius/James and Lily/Dumbledore if he dies/ has.
Harry will take Sirius's mirror with him in order to get the info back to
the other side and we all expect him to stay Dead...but the Deep Magic
scenario then kicks in and he does come back after all.

Cheers,

who doesn't think Harry will be dead at the end.
