Matt:

My biggest fear has always been that in order to stop Voldemort, 
Harry will need to make a choice to sacrifice himself.  Some major 
connection was established between the two when Voldemort cursed 
Harry all those years ago, and perhaps the only way to finally 
finish off Voldemort is for Harry to die as well.  Thus, my fear is 
that in order to kill Voldemort, Harry will need to die as well.    
This would be an unfortunate end indeed.

Alla :) made me think of a new fear however, that Harry will somehow 
be unable to use magic in the end due to a last fight with 
Voldemort.  I think this would be a very tragic end as well, very 
similar to Frodo in Lord of the Rings, who was unable to return to a 
normal life after the struggles with the ring, and had to see all 
his friends happy again but unable to join them.

I don't know which of the above would be worse though, they are both 
pretty grim endings!
