Now Phil:
I do not think Jo will want to be known as the, "Life sucks and then
you die lady" Harry will live, but he will also have to defeat
Voldemort without killing him, for if he kills him Harry will split
his soul. After all the prophecy says Harry only needs to vanquish
Voldemort, not kill him.

Stacy:
I firmly believe Harry will live, but I don't really have any quotes
from  canon to back up my conviction. However, I hardly think JKR
wants to be known as "she-who-killed-off-the-boy-who-lived."  How
could she ever overcome such a  reputation?  Even if Harry vanquishes
Voldemort as he dies, readers could just place JKR in Voldemort's
vacated spot as the next dark lord for killing off such a beloved
character.

Tinktonks says:

I dont think Harry will become a murderer. I think JKR puts hints to
this in the books fairly regularly, firstly DD has stated clearly
that there are much worse things than death, I think that this is a
hint to LV's fate. He also says that he wouldn't need to kill him to
destroy him!!! There are also references from Harry in PoA that his
dad wouldn't have wanted his friends to become murderers for
Wormtail. I think these are all strong things that suggest that the
good guys have other options to killing.

Also I think that the constant references to divination being
a `woolly' subject and highly unreliable are important.

Yes Trelawney is usually an old fraud but has had genuine trances. But
even DD is not convinced that real prophecies have meaning. He tells
Harry that the prophecy is self fulfilling only because he and LV
make it so.

I say DD's right. It is our choices! Harry can chose not to fulfil
the prophecy in my opinion and I think his previous behaviour shows
this will be his choice.

He hated Sirius and felt like murdering him but did not, he was
revolted at Wormtail but spared him. He felt a rage like he had never
known at Bellatrix yet still could not crucio her. He does not truly
want to cause suffering even when it is righteous and even justified!
