Carolyn:
Alas, Annette, JKR knocked this one on its head in her 4th March 
livechat:

Q: Are the muggle and magical worlds ever going to be rejoined?
A: No, the breach was final, although as book six shows, the Muggles 
are noticing more and more odd happenings now that Voldemort is back.

However, I am sure there is wiggle room here. They may never be going 
to be rejoined, but that doesn't mean there haven't been attempts at 
doing so. See a labyrinthine thread starting post 86517, and going on 
to post 87488 and beyond, known as the Vauxhall Rd theory.

A more sinister variant is that in killing Voldemort, Harry not only 
dies himself, but magic dies with him. This would also mean the two 
worlds need not be reconciled. Many people have wondered whether this 
is what the two bits of broken prophecy mean, that came from the 
smashed orbs at the MoM battle:

'..at the solstice will come a new...' said the figure of an old 
bearded man.

'..and none will come after..' said the figure of a young woman.

How about the old man was Godric Gryffindor, and the young woman was 
Trelawny's ancestor, the seer Cassandra ?

No wonder Dumbledore is looking a bit old and tired, if this is what 
he suspects.
