...unless Harry discovers love and forgiveness, in which case the 
next 2 books could be filled with horrible things happenings, but 
abounding with good feelings. Maybe we're going to see Harry 
accepting the love people try to give him (the Weasleys, especially 
Molly, Hermione, DD, ...), and start truly giving some around, to his 
best friends of course, but also to people like Neville, Luna, Ginny, 
etc... Maybe he could even get Cho back, or start a new story with 
someone else, a story that would be full of care for each other, of 
tenderness, of humility.

I know this is highly unlikely, but it *is* possible. And it'd be 
much nicer to read than the dark and somber OoP book. JKR would be 
teaching kids that they can live in a warm emotional environment even 
in the midst of turmoil and war. What better lesson to teach them ?
