There are different types of happy endings...take the ending of the 
Narnia series, for example. Having Harry reunite with his parents is 
another take on the happy ending. It may not be the ending many people 
want, of course, but it *is* its own form of happiness. 
 
I keep thinking that the first chapter of the first book is 
called "The Boy Who Lived". Couldn't it be possible that either 1/ it 
foreshadows the very end of the series (he lives) or the polar 
opposite, 2/ the last chapter of the last book will read, "The Man Who 
Died"?

The quote someone shared about JKR being Christian & that by the end 
of the series, it would be clear, makes me wonder if in fact Harry IS 
meant to die, as a sacrifice to save his friends' lives. Personally, 
I'm ok if she decides to end the series with his death...
