Harry sacrificing himself to the cause of good would be a great way 
to end the series. Then at the least we fans will be assured that he 
won't be suffering anymore, and is finally in for a little peace. 
However, I think that it would depend on how he dies. If it comes 
like Sirius' death did, short, nearly senseless and without major 
explanation, then I will be pretty upset. On the other hand, if he 
hangs on just long enough to say a beautiful good bye to Ron and 
Hermione and Hagrid, if he fades away seeing a light in front of 
him, and is welcomed into the WW version of an afterlife by his long 
lost mum, dad and godfather for an eternity of familial bonding, 
then I will probably have to be scraped off the ceiling I will be so 
happy. But that's just me. 
Meri - who didn't mean to get all New Agey, or to suggest that the 
WW has anything even remotely like a Christian Heaven
