Tonks:
I agree that the ending can not be predictable. I also think that 
either DD or Harry must die, but not both. It would just be too much of 
a blow if they both died. I think that either DD dies and then Harry 
has a near death experience in which he dies and comes back to later 
marry Ginny, have 12 children and become Minister of Magic. Or DD lives 
and Harry dies. As much as I love DD and will be much more depressed if 
DD dies over Harry, I suspect that the *other* prophey will be true. 
That is the one where Harry lives, marries, has 12 children and become 
MoM. So a near death experience might work here just fine.  But the 
books will not be the same to me if DD dies. I don't care that much 
about Harry, to tell the truth.
