>> B)In amidst all the mysteries and apocolyptic wars and magical 
issues, there's a story of a young man growing up into something 
better than his childhood and forming his own personality.  Doing 
justice to the character demands he get a chance to apply it in a 
peaceful setting.  A good author knows when to go to a happy ending, 
no matter how cliche it is <<

I tend to agree with this.   I don't want Harry to die, but more 
importantly, it doesn't feel possible to make that a satisfying 
ending.    We know there is still evil in the world, she can't 
possibly swing it that his sacrifice is going to end evil and let 
good triumph forever, so even if he kills Voldemort, it won't feel 
worth it.      

I think Harry will have to make a great sacrifice in order to defeat 
Voldemort, but it won't be his life.   The ending will be bitter 
sweet.   He will have a chance for a happy life and Voldemort 
vanquished but he will have lost important things - a number of 
friends certainly, and I think, ultimately, magic.
