Everybody dies sometime, but that's the only way her predictions of his death 
could be accurate, IMHO.  She accepted Harry and Ron's homework where they 
predicted they'd go through all kinds of horrors (beheading, etc., as I 
recall), and die terrible deaths, and then she made them do their next 
month's predictions as well!  But if their first predictions were as 
wonderful as she said, they'd be DEAD the next month and no predictions (or 
homework!) would be necessary!  :->  And Dumbledore made a comment about the 
prediction she made at the end of Harry's exam -- something about her being 
right twice now, and he'd have to give her a raise.  So, like Harry and Ron 
and Hermione, I don't put a lot of faith in her predictions.  I DO have faith 
in the visions Harry has -- he's been right, let's see now, every time??  I 
think so, anyway.  So when he has a vision, I'll believe it.  And I don't 
think Harry's going to die by the end of book seven -- JMHO.  I'd love to see 
her carry on and show us what he does in his adult life.  He could be an 
auror, then teach the DADA class, eventually become headmaster of Hogwart's 
-- or a professional Quiddich player, then follow the above career path or 
something equally interesting.  I think "the continued adventures of Harry 
Potter" would be fascinating.  Wishful thinking, I suppose, hoping she'd give 
us more Potter books after the series ends, but there it is, I wish she 
would!
