I wouldn't. I predicted 2 chapter titles of the last book "The Man Who
Died" and "The Next Great Adventure".   

Although I am convinced Harry will die I don't think he is a Horcrux,
I think it far more likely Dumbledore was, it's about the only way I
know that JKR can still engineer a good Snape that most people seem to
want. And even if Harry is not a Horcrux I'll bet at some point he
will think he is.

Of course regarding the entire Harry living or dieing thing, there is
a third alternative, JKR may decide for ambiguity and have us arguing
about what really happened for years. Picture a scene many years from
now when one of Hagrid's grandchildren ask the great old man "What
happened to Harry?" and Hagrid responds: 

"Good question. Harry just Disappeared. Vanished. That's the biggest
myst'ry, see...  he was gettin' more an' more powerful -- why'd he go?
Some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion. Dunno if he had enough
human left in him to die. Most of us reckon he's still out there
somewhere bidin' his time."
