Excuse me, but I don't expect a happy ending at all, regardless of 
what happens in book 6.  Wars may end with jubilation for the winning 
side, but not without considerable grief, in the vast majority of 
cases.  Book 6 will see the marshalling of forces and the early 
battles of the war, as well as Harry as a sixteen-year-old.  Harry 
will be more identifiably the father of the man he will become, but 
it is still a difficult age, and Harry is bearing burdens beyond his 
years, so be prepared for at least an occasional out-break of angry 
adolescence ... but a few less than in OotP.
