I think in some earlier 
interviews (before she got so media savvy!) JKR
implied Harry's survival:

 "I  try never to say never, because it seems that 
every time I do I end up by doing the thing I've 
forsworn. So, there is a remote possibility that there
will another Harry book, but at the present time I am
planning only seven."

"And nothing about him after school?
Probably not. I can't say more than that, but 
no, I planned 7 and I'm going to stick with 7, I 
think."

JKR: Um, at the moment, I definitely think I'm 
going  to stop at seven, and I have to say, that will 
be really heartbreaking. Um, the only reason 
you'll ever see an eight Harry Potter book is if I
really, in ten  years time, burn to do another one.
But at the moment, I think that's unlikely. But I try
never to say never about anything, cause the moment I
say "I will never," I do it next month. So, I just 
but I think not. I think I'll stop at seven.

 "At the moment I'm only planning to write seven Harry
Potter books. I won't say "never," but I have no plans
to write an eighth book."

"Everyone assumes that there will 
be an adult life and maybe they're right. But no, I 
think I'm going to stop at seven. I'm not going to 
say "never another one." If I had a burning desire 
to do another one, I'd do it. But at the moment, I'm
planning to stop at seven."
