I heard this from someone, who heard this from someone.  So, I don't 
know if it is really valid, but it might mean something if it is...

Supposedly, when JKR was writing OotP, she came out crying, and her 
husband asked her what was wrong and she said she "killed" one of the 
main characters.  Her husband said, 'Well, you don't have to kill 
them if you don't want to.' And she said it had to happen this way.

Now, I don't know if the above is true or not, but it makes a really 
interesting plot point if it is.  If JKR was upset about it enough to 
make her cry, he must have "really died."  But, we, again, don't know 
what exactly happened in his death.  And, we don't know if he can 
communicate with Harry ever again.  

Now, the reason I question the authenticity, is because there is a 
similar quote about Puccini when he was writing his last opera, 
Turandot.  He came out crying after he wrote the music where Liu 
dies.  So, who knows.  It could just be an uncanny coincidence that 
both JKR and Puccini had the same reaction to characters dying.
