But what if, by the end of Book 7, most of those friends and allies are
dead?  Not to mention his parents, Sirius, etc.  Perhaps Harry would look
forward to death as a chance to reunite with friends and meet the parents he
never knew...I could see an ending where Harry's death is viewed not as
tragic but more as a well-earned chance for some peace and happiness...

Oh, I shudder at that idea!  He will only be 17, and I don't want to think
of it being a comfort for a boy that young to die!  Thinking of the kids who
will be reading the books and knowing the high rate of teenage suicide, I
guess I could take almost any ending better than Harry finding it a comfort
to die and be reunited with his parents.  I don't want Harry to die at all,
but if he must, I hope it is not something he thinks of as a rest from his
trials or a comfort.
