I think the lady doth protest too much whenever the question is
raised. she's trying to keep open the possibility in readers' minds
that she might kill Harry, but I doubt that she'll really do it. (She
has also mentioned at least once that she hasn't entirely rejected the
possibility of an eighth Harry Potter book, but in her original vision
the series ended with the seventh book because Harry's Hogwarts career
will end at that point.) Harry starts out as the Boy Who Lived, and
chances are he'll end that way as well.

Carol, who wants to see Harry end the series as a "normal" wizard boy
who becomes an auror (along with H and R) in the Epilogue
