Will Harry Die?  That's the same as asking, "Did Jesus die?" or "Did Orpheus die?" or “Horus?*”
  The answer to this question is both "yes" and "no".
  Harry will die but he will come back, just like Jesus, Orpheus, Horus and other liberators! The whole purpose of Harry Potter is to prove that there is a way to vanquish death permanently.
  What evidence is there?
Just look at the basic story:
  A prophecy is made that a baby will be born who will change the world. The baby is born and a star appears to announce his birth. When the king of this world hears about the birth he tries to have the baby killed, but fails. The child grows up in wisdom and in stature, and in favour with God and man. He performs miracles at a young age. But as he grows older he knows he will have to meet his arch-enemy: Satan.
  You all know that story – that’s the story of Jesus. But it’s also the story of Harry Potter. In Harry’s case the star is Sirius, who becomes his God-Father. (In ancient Egypt Sirius announced the birth of Horus). At a young age Harry saves many lives, wins battles against dragons and giant snakes, and dodges death by Voldemort time and again. The world loves Harry; that’s why you’re reading this!
  The story is basically so similar to that of Jesus we can easily see that it will end the same way as Jesus’ story. Just as Jesus died to save the world, so Harry will lay down his life for the wizarding world. But just as Jesus rose from the dead after three days, so will Harry.
  How will Harry do this? We think Harry will go through the arch with the veil in the Department of Mysteries. In the ancient spiritual traditions which Jo is following, this gateway is called the Gate of Saturn.
  We believe the scar which Voldemort gave Harry when Voldemort tried to kill him is a Horcrux. Harry will realise this, and, after killing the other 5 Horcruxes, will enter the Gate of Saturn to sacrifice himself, making Voldemort mortal. Harry will meet Sirius there, surrounded by a brilliant golden light. Harry, without the last Horcrux, will then return through the arch with the veil, possibly with the help of Sirius, and confront the mortal Voldemort. We don’t believe Harry will kill Voldemort. Harry will learn in Part 7 of the Septology that love cannot kill. In the power of that force Voldemort will dissipate like a puff of smoke.
  This whole theme is anticipated in Part 1, in the last two chapters, entitled Through the Trapdoor and The Man with Two Faces. There Harry faces the three headed dog, just like Orpheus in the Greek legend. He walks through an underground world and finally faces Voldemort who lives in Quirrell’s head. Voldemort attacks Harry, but he wins because of his mother’s love. He is then "dead" for three days but finally wakes up again.
  We believe that the 7 trials in Part 1 are clues to Part 7. And just as Love saves Harry in his confrontation with Voldemort in Part 1, so it will in Part 7. We believe Lily is somehow connected with the Room of Love, which will be opened in Part 7.
  We see a great similarity between The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross, a book published in 1616, and Harry Potter. This story also features voluntary death and resurrection, and a Room of Love, called "The Sepulchre of Venus". Christian Rosycross enters the Sepulchre and sees Venus, i.e. Love, in all its naked beauty. This fills him with compassion for suffering humanity and so this makes him come back to be gatekeeper of the castle. We believe that there is a strong probability that Harry will also do a similar thing, and become gatekeeper, taking Hagrid’s place.
