You're probably right Alisha, people want to feel good about the 
book or movie they're reading or watching, at least I do, I think 
the world is complicated enough as it is so why add more stress to 
it? The best books I've read usually end in a sort of happy ending, 
it doesn't have to be "happily ever after", just "it´s ok, not 
pefect, just ok".

This is a weak reason, but it's a children's book, and they are 
supposed to be happy, they should teach something, it would be 
discouraging for kids (and adults) if the bad guys win. I'd be 
completly disappointed in JKR if at the end Voldemort takes over 
Europe and the rest of the world.

Probably Harry's friends will die, his family is already death, but 
I believe he will find that even if life kinda sucks it will get 
better, he'll se the light on the other side.
