Snow:

SS Through The Trapdoor "In Years to come, Harry would never quite
remember how he had managed to get through his exams when he half
expected Voldemort to come bursting through the door at any moment."

The "In Years to come" reference is always a good sign but carries an
even greater implication when it is coupled by the, expected
appearance of Voldemort statement, which should imply that Harry at
the least survives Voldemort to look back and reflect on this moment

In the years to come.

I have always suspected that Harry will live and this passage has
given me the most reason to believe it to be true.
