This ending is very, very unlikely in my opinion, because if there is
one thing we see in Harry over and over again it is his resilience. He
has enormous, devastating blows and well, not exactly bounces back,
but learns to handle them and grows. There is a huge difference
between Frode and Harry. On the one hand Frodo has changed too much to
fit back in the Shire. On the other hand, he also fails to adapt to
the changing Shire. Frode had a life to which he could not get back.
Harry still has to develop lots of his life. He has a whole new world
to explore: the world of maturity. Yes, of course he will be affected
by what happens in book 7, but it will not make a passive, apathic,
depressed person out of him. It is not in his character.
