I think that's true, and that's exactly why I think Harry will die. 
The entire point of being a writer is to touch people's emotions, so
how could JKR resist the temptation to create a worldwide emotional
earthquake of that magnitude?

Like Harry growing old, developing a pot belly,male pattern baldness,
and boring children to death by repeating stories from his youth they
have all heard a thousand times before, and with nothing to look
forward to but bowling with Ron on Thursdays. Better to go out in a
blaze of glory. The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as
long, and Harry's flame is bright indeed. Harry will live fast, die
young and leave a good looking corpse.
