She's been seemingly firm in the idea that 7 books is it - it's her  limit. Killing Harry off would most firmly end the Harry Potter series, leaving no room to bring it back. <

I think in the sense of 'spiritual evolution' of the character (Harry) there has to be a mutual joining via death or merging in order for her story to be accurate in terms of the 'alchemical' growth she's symbolizing.
So I figure harry will either die or become something 'other' with Voldemort.
