Rowling wouldn't do that. She would either kill Harry at the direct ending or leave him alive. 

Personally, I don't think she will kill him at all. Okay, so Pettigrew may die, Snape may die, even Dumbledore, one of the Weasleys and a fan of Harry's (a creevey?) but put those deaths aside - with the many others that have been promised - (uncle Vernon maybe?) - Harry won't be killed. I seriously seriously doubt it. 

I mean, I have written books my self, whole novels, but if I get an idea about a character, who perhaps is the main part, and then decide he will die, I find it very hard to carry on writing. And if Rowling cried when Black died, she won't live with herself if she kills Harry Potter himself. She would be saying "evil has won" and that just won't happen.

Also in an interview she said she would write more than seven books only if she felt the great desire too at the end of the last. So it was meant to be an septology (Um?) just like Pullman's The Dark Materials was meant to be a Trilogy. But Lyra didn't die in his book (she was the main character) both her parents died and she lost many people she loved - after that is it not too harsh to kill her too?

So I think what Rowling intends to do is just end it, so we can imagine what Harry does after Voldemort's defeat. There will be a struggle, no doubt, the above named will perhaps all die with many others, but Harry, Ronald and Hermione will break thorugh the other side. It just has to be. (IMHO)
