Keep in mind that whether JK kills Harry off, there is nothing to  
stop her or any other writer (assuming copyright issues aren't in  
play, which I know they are) from continuing on the story.  JK has  
created more than a character - she's created a world.  Anyone who's  
scanned the fan fiction list knows how many stories have been written  
in a future world with no Harry.

In short, I don't think the issue of future books is relevant to  
whether Harry will live or die.
