 I agree that Harry will live through the end of the seventh book 
but for a slightly different reason. Yes good will triumph over 
evil. That is what makes stories readable. Why would we want to read 
a story where the bad guy wins? Most books are out there for our 
enjoyment.
 And also how many heroes die at the end of a story? It just doesn't 
happen, especially since children are reading these books (whether 
the books were written for children or a general audience is beside 
the point) I just CANNOT see JKR having Harry die at the end. If 
that happened I would probably burn my Harry Potter books and JKR 
would get MANY scathing letters from myself and other furious fans. 
It's just not worth it to her to have him die at the end.

Have a Happy Love Filled Day!  sad1199
