I don't think this necessarily means that the school will close, but 
I have reluctantly come to accept that we won't see it - or at least 
not as 'insiders'.  If Harry is not there we won't see the quiddich 
matches.

If Hogwarts does stay open it will be a very differnt place to the 
school we know.  It has a new Headmistress and will be in need of a 
new DADA teacher, a new Transfiguration teacher (I'm working on the 
principal that DD no longer taught when he was head so neither will 
McG) and probably a new potions teacher (as I doubt Sluggy will stay 
without DD).  It will also need a new Head of Gryffindor and Head of 
Slytherin (assuming Sluggy does go).

With all these changes, no irrespective of whatever is going on in 
the outside WW, Hogwarts will never be the same again.
