Carol responds:
Yes. I think you've hit on what most of us fear, an unsatisfactory
ending. I don't think for a moment that JKR would cheat us with an "it
was all a dream" ending, but I am afraid that she'll have Harry doing
something that violates the moral code she seems to be setting up
here, specifically, I'm afraid that she'll have Harry murder Voldemort
with an Unforgiveable Curse. (I don't care that Voldemort deserves it;
I don't want Harry to be stained with the evil of his enemy's weapons.)

And of course I don't want Snape to betray Harry or DD or the Order.
If he has to die, okay, I'll reluctantly accept that. But I want him
to prove that DD's trust in him is justified. And it would be a nice
touch if he got an Order of Merlin, too.

Not sure what I'll do if Snape turns out to be a baddie, but if Harry
wins the war by using Avada Kedavra, the books are going to the
nearest dumpster.
