Well, Harry's got more hair.

But to expand the concept to a more general level - I'm going to 
ask the fans to do something they may find difficult.

Put aside thoughts of what you *want* to happen.
Now provide evidence - from the books, from JKR interviews, her
website, wherever, that there will be a happy resolution.

Because I can't see any such evidence.

Cries of "Oh, she must!" don't work, nor do expostulations that
"She couldn't do that in a childrens book" because she didn't write 
the books for children. On more than one occasion she's stated that 
she wrote the books *for herself* -  and it wasn't a particularly
easy time in her life, either.

This is why I posted 101614 "Which way?" hoping to get some 
feedback on the idea that she might do something radical.
She's written a series like no other - what evidence do you have
that the ending will not also be like no other?
