Bart:
I'm pretty sure that Harry will die. But he'll get better (hey, at least 
he won't get turned into a newt!).

More seriously, I see Harry sacrificing himself to destroy Morty, but 
someone else is going to sacrifice him/herself to save him:

1) Wormtail will pull a Gollum, accidentally sacrificing himself in 
Harry's stead, thus fulfilling his life debt.

2) Snape will, at the last second, switch sides, as the whole killing DD 
thing was to plant Snape for Harry to have as an "ace in the hole", 
sacrificing himself to save Harry, thus making up for his part in 
Harry's parents' deaths. I even predict his last words would be on the 
order of, "I wouldn't have had to die if you had done your homework, 
Potter!"

3) (this is my favorite): Harry will drag Voldemort into the Veil. 
Sirius, who is still there, will give up his body (and chance to get 
out) to push Harry out and drag Voldemort the rest of the way.

4) (REALLLLLL longshot) It will turn out that Luna Lovegood was right 
all along, and she will bring out a posse of her "mythical monsters" to 
save Harry. Actually, less of a longshot if it isn't the final victory.

OK, the first three are based on the fact that all three of them had 
screwed up, badly, along the course of the novels, and this allows Harry 
to make the sacrifice and still live, and redeems one of them in the 
process; in other words, they fit in thematically. The last, well, it 
would be cute, but it would not fit in the theme as a final sacrifice; 
that's why I put it in as a possibility for a more minor plot point.
