In message 122261, I mentioned a passage in PS/SS in which JKR steps
out of Harry time, and into the future. The passage is at the start of
the chapter "Through the Trapdoor".

 "In years to come, Harry would never quite remember how he had
managed to get through his exams when he half expected Voldemort to
come bursting through the door at any moment."

Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part, but the fact that Harry
comes to a time in which he has the luxury to let his memory
stray to his first year at Hogwarts, indicates to me that he will be
alive for at least several years after he has finished with Hogwarts.
Considering all the other horrible things Harry has had to put up with
in his other years, it would probably be a long long while before he
has time or inclination to delve down all the way to memories of
worries in his first year. In my unprofessional opinion, he wouldn't
get around to examining his first year until several years after he
leaving school - and vanquishing LV. (Unfortunately, JKR will be done
writing about him before he gets to examine his belly button while
drinking margaritas on a warm white beach.)
