Harry dies – sort of.

It is expected that in some way Harry and V. will have a battle against each 
other.  
The real question is, will Harry die or not?  If he does, can he be saved?  
And if so, by whom?

In book one, Snape tells his students, "I can teach you how to bottle fame, 
brew glory, even stopper death."

Could it be that Snape will be the one who brings Harry back to life by 
bottling Harry's death?
And, if so, why?  Could it be that while Snape may have hated Harry's father, 
Snape may still have an affection for Lily?  

In Snape's memory, it was Lily who told James to stop tormenting him.  Even 
though Snape spurned her, he may have regretted such an act.  Obviously it was 
Lily who changed James' bullying ways  . . .  freeing Snape from further 
torment.

JKR: "There's an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape."
