  While I would agree that Ginny could handle being a single parent, I don't think there's even the remote chance of it happening. This story is Harry's story. So either he will die, and there won't be any more Harry-Ginny snogging to see, or Harry will soundly kick LV's ass and then go on to live happily with Ginny and all their children. 

But, the scenario proposed would leave the door open for an entirely new Harry Potter series to be built on top of the existing series- Ginny and baby's story after Harry's death. Would Rowling really leave that door wide open?

Melanie: 
  I'm not sure that is entirely logical because I think if Harry was still alive at all there is a story to tell.  The truth is even if Harry is alive to raise children with Ginny, their story is one that would still be of interest to Rowling's readers.  We would still wonder what kind of children Harry would have, we would still wonder what it is like to be Harry Potter child.  I see no difference if Harry and Ginny have children later or if they have children now.  The point is any carrying on of the Potter name leaves the field wide open for more books.  The only way the field would slightly closed is if Harry dies.  Still, there are other surviving characters that books could be written about.  
   
  With that said, I do not see Ginny getting pregnant this year.
