Of course, the story stands on its own, with  its own twists.
But JKR has deliberately chosen to follow the storyline of
classic Hero mythology, as did the original Star Wars and
Lord of the Rings.  She will have her own twists and she
could still have everyone alive at the end but I am with
those who think DD will be done at the end of Book Six.  


tinglinger:
I am always amazed that many potterfans never bothered
to peruse the books on the bookshelf in JKR's "library"
( on the Links page of her website --- click on the pen ),
where I have not seen Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, or
even a stray balrog in evidence.          Rather, I see
the works of Jane Austen, "I Capture the Castle",
and "The Little White Horse" by Elizabeth Goudge,
among others.

If you wanted to have the slightest chance at predicting
the future course of the Potterverse, you would have to
have at least a passing knowledge of the storylines and
characters of as many of the books in her library as you
can get your hands on.

ALthough there may be elements of classic Hero mythology
in the series (there is a book on World Mytholigy on the 
top visible shelf), the real clues imho are hidden in the
specific identifiable titles sitting there in plain sight.
Many of these books are her favorites and have common
themes running through them, and can be seen in what JKR
has written so far.  

I have learned more about how the series will probably
develop in books 6 and 7 from reading The Little White
Horse than from all the comments on all the Harry Potter
fansites combined. 

It won't be long now till we know for sure ......
