Hans--

I think your theories are fascinating and have also discerned many of 
the same threads of thought on patterns and predictions.  

I think that the fact that JKR seems to be following the true form 
and definition of an Epic with the septology means that there will be 
many classical "evolutions" or perhaps, milestones that will be found 
in the HP universe.  Your theory is one of several that, I feel, may 
be superimposed to correlate with the past five books and to help 
predict the remaining two.  Unfortunately, I have to say, that all of 
them that I have studied and compared to HP, seem to be leading 
towards the death of our beloved Boy Who Probably Will Not Live.  :-(

Personally, I sooooo, do not want this to be so.  I love Harry like a 
true person and would mourn his death as surely as I would mourn a 
living breathing soul.  However, we are repeatedly told by JKR in 
cannon that there is no coming back from the dead to return to life 
so I think that when he does die in Book7, he will remain--Beyond the 
Veil.  But, as you pointed out-- we already can sympathize with Harry 
losing so many people-- in the order directly related to how much 
they would mean to him, really.  (Dad, Mom, Sirius.) So we are now 
able to see that Harry's only real chance for happiness may only be, 
not on earth in this realm.  Especially as he loses more people.
Then again, we have been being trained for this since Book 1 when 
Dumbledore says, "Life is but the next great adventure."  that helps 
us feel like Death of a person/character is not so much the end of 
living but the begining of liberation to *BE*.
