MAE here:
I remember reading in an interview somewhere that JKR said that she
read LotR as a teen and really wasn't a lover of fantasy reading.  I
can't imagine that she would mirror the story so closely that it would
have the same ending when she hadn't read it for a long time.  I also
agree that if Harry had to become a muggle at the conclusion it would
be a great disappointment for Harry and the readers.  Harry becoming a
muggle is not the same as Frodo's fate.  Frodo was content in his
fate, given all that he had seen, he would suffer too much in a normal
mortal life.
