Since we're citing JKR, she's repeatedly said her books are not
necessarily children's books. Thus I don't think you can assume those
4 characters survive.

I think she has always had every intention of killing Harry. I don't
see how he can survive. I see him much like Bilbo in LotR... he won't
be able to live on in this world, and rather than have him just
"vanish" I see JKR as finishing him off. He may kill LV first, but he
must die, his experiences have made him unfit for "normal wizard" company.

I'm still considering my theory about who must die to fufill the
prophecy, I'm thinking Harry kills Neville, then kills Voldemort, but
dies of magical damage suffered in the battle, so he can have his last
soliloquy with Dumbledore.
