Chris now:

I have been reasonably certain all along that LV will snuff it 
about half way, or maybe a little more, through book 7.  (Weren't 
we told, I forget where, that book 6 is kind of a part 1 of 2?) 
This would leave plenty of space for the wrap up.  I strongly 
believe that Harry, as well as Ron and Hermione, will live to see their graduations.  I also believe that Harry will retain all of 
his magic.  I am not as certain about any of the "transferred" 
powers inadvertently given him by LV, he may or may not retain those.  There has to be a kind of epilogue at the very end.  We 
have been told by JKR that there will be no need for any more 
books after #7, so a wrap up, IMO, is a definite.
