Is Hedwig's head on the chopping block?

I just finished GoF and I just got the feeling that Fawkes is supposed 
to end up with Harry.  So two things need to happen by the end of 
the books for Fawkes to end up with Harry.  1.  DD has to die and 2. 
Harry has to live.  Both of these I feel have a good chance of 
happening.  But then I started to think why would Harry need another 
bird unless Hedwig were to also die.  After Ron and Hermione, I 
think Hedwig's death would be the hardest on Harry to deal with. 
Hedwig was Harry's first friend in the WW that Harry spent a lot of 
time with and the only friend at Number 4 Privet Drive.  I always 
thought Hedwig was one of the few that would out-live the books, but 
now I have a bad feeling she's going to sacrifice herself for Harry.  
Hope I'm wrong.
