Katherine:

JKR has long said that one of her favourite books is _The Little  
White Horse_
by Elizabeth Goudge.  I tracked that book down at my local library  
and read through it for possible clues to JKR's story-telling  
methods.  I think she'll end book 7 in a similar way to TLWH.

That book had many confrontations, a heroine who triumphed over evil  
and a chapter of epilogue.

I think HP will end similarly, with a decent "where are they now"  
ending.

As for there being no more Potter books, I think I recall her saying  
that there will be no more Potter stories but there may be future  
books about Hogwarts, TWW, and other encyclopaedic works.
