Oh, but who said that Harry dying would mean that Voldemort wins?

Harry's death might be necessary in order to 'bring down Voldemort 
with him', or something like that.  That to defeat Voldemort he has 
to sacrifice himself.  And successfully -- the world is free of Voldemort for good, and praise the memory of the noble Harry, who valued the safety of the world and its future over his own life; 
which I think is a noble and 'good' message.  I just made a loooong post about that, so I won't repeat myself.  Just wanted to make that point -- Harry dying does not necessarily equal Voldemort winning.  That *would* suck for an ending, I agree lol...
