montims:
well, the prophecy might not actually mean that, but Harry will die.
Whether in the next book or at 150 years old, he will die as we all do...

Taking off my flippant hat though, I don't know whether I feel it would be
better, artistically, for him to die in book 7 or not...  In some ways, I
would prefer it if book 7 was never released, and we were just left to our
speculations, each of us having a different conclusion...  (like Edwin
Drood)

It breaks my heart to think that in a few years time and beyond, people will
be coming new to the series KNOWING, through movies or anecdote, the ending
before they even read the first page of PS.  That will colour their reading
from the start...
