Ah, but you have to remember, I am a true believer in happy endings.  
I would so hate it if Harry dies.  It would be a tremendous let down 
for me.

I don't think that JKR has that in store for us.  She will probably 
have other characters that are dear to me die.  She has said that she 
wants children to see that there are pointless deaths, and that is 
the reality of life.  But to have Harry die?  Then that negates the 
prophesy (did I say that?  Am I opening a whole 'nother can of 
worms?).  For it says that one of them will survive.  

Now there's that pesky word "vanquish".  Does it necessarily mean 
that LV will die?  I believe so.  Most epic fantasy novels with 
a "Dark Lord" have that character die in the end.  Harry must be the 
one to do it.  Whether it is done with "malace aforethought" or as 
the result of something inadvertantly done by Harry, remains to be 
seen.

At this point in the story, Harry is still a child.  He is seeing 
things pretty much as black and white.  He will either be victim or 
murderer.  I don't think he understands the subtlety behind the 
prophesy, yet.  And because he is so introspective, at this point in 
the story, this is not something he will share with Ron and Hermione 
yet.  As our story has unfolded so far, in the beginning, he pretty 
much shared whatever he found out with R & H.  As the story moved 
along, he began to withhold things.

I do hope book 7 will wrap up all those loose ends and we will see a 
satisfactory conclusion.  

D - who realizes that she has suddenly become long winded, when she 
is basically a shy person.
