Somebody asked Rowling about this, they said: 

"People love Ron, for example. Kids think you're going to knock off
Ron because he's the best friend."

Rowling responded:

"Kids do, because they're sharp and they've seen so many films where
the hero's best friend gets it. So they think I'm going to make it
personal by killing Ron. But maybe that's a double bluff
 It's not
that I sat down with a list and decided to write, "you're going,
you're going, you're going." There are reasons for the deaths in each
case, in terms of the story. So that's why I'm doing it."

She seems to be saying killing the best friend would be a cliché,
however I do think important people will die, Dumbledore in book 6 and
Voldemort and Harry in book 7.
