JKR has said that having children was the greatest joy in her life,
even more than getting her book published. It seems to me that if she
has decided to whack Harry she might want to give him just a little
bit of happiness first.  Also, if I were her I wouldn't want to burn
my bridges; she's still a young woman, in 20 or 30 years she may
change her mind and want to reenter the Potter universe, and then she
can write about Harry Junior.

And I don't think JKR is interested in sending messages in her books,
she has Email for that, she just wants to tell a good story, and she has.

Under normal circumstance I would certainly agree, but things are far
from normal. If you were 17 but knew there was an excellent chance
you'd never see your 18'Th birthday it might be wise to do things now
that in normal circumstance should be postponed for a few years. I
believe Molly understands this and the horrible danger they are all
in, and that is why she will give her approval for Ginny and Harry to
marry.
