Karen:
I am still trying to figure out for myself if I think he will die or not as a re-read the books.  However, think of this- what if he kills Voldemort in the same instant that Voldemort kills him. Yes Harry was killed and by Voldemort but he saved the wizarding world from Voldemort and for that he is once again a hero. What a noble death!  That could still make for a good ending.

Catlady responds:
I want my heroes alive and well! I wouldn't mind him dying in the epilogue part, but, just allow him to survive the offing of LV so that for once he will be allowed to have a normal life. I simply won't like him dying, no matter how heroically!


Satya Latha:
J.K. always says Love is greater than anything else in the world and the ONLY Power, which Harry has and Voldemort NEVER had which would help him to kill Voldemort!!  If that is the case then it would be unfair to kill Harry.  Because he had lived his 16 miserable years of life without Happiness in his life.  Voldemort on the other hand lived for 50 yrs absolutely Happily on HIS wish without the name of Love.  He had suffered in his life only when he attempted to kill Harry but until then nothing stopped him.  In other words he was the happiest person!!
   
I do agree that the other word for Love is sacrifice but again that doesn't mean that Love is only to sacrifice!!  If Harry dies killing Voldemort in the last book then J.K.s argument that Love is most powerful than anything statement is faltered because the power of Love always gives Happiness at the end!!  And if that doesn't happen it is very very unfair!!
