When reading that, I was thinking that Percy would be a logical
candidate. It would show that, in a war of that scale, there are no
neutrals. Which made me think of something (subsequently, I looked it up
on the web, and found that I'm not the only one who has thought of
this). Especially since JKR has promised that, by the end of book 7, the
Christianity of her outlook will be clear (or words to that effect).
The situation in the Potterverse is very much like Milton's Paradise
Lost. The magic world is small, but they are far more powerful than
humans. Yet, they accept the human sovereignty over the Earth. There are
a group of rebels, who believe that they should rule over the Earth with
their power. And the forces of good are aligning against the forces of
evil for a final battle. Included in this are clear statements by JKR
that there will be no more Harry Potter books. This implies that the
final battle will be the Final Battle.
I am going to take a leap and predict the following: After the final
battle between Harry and Voldemort, the Wizarding World will be no more.
