Nobody?!

Karen:
I am finishing book 4 tonight and quickly re-reading book 5, 6 in the 
next week or so before book 7 comes out.  I go back and forth on my 
feelings of him dying or not.  For the longest time I was convinced 
he would die but other fans convinced me otherwise.  I think the 
problem is that everyone on this site loves the books so much that 
they refuse to let themselves face the fact that their beloved 
character may die.  I think many of them have some thought in the 
back of their mind that perhaps he will not make it to old age.

I certainly would like him to live but at the same time I like that 
JKR is giving us some uncertainty.  She's not an author who always 
gives readers a totally happy ending which I like because some books 
you open up and from the moment you know what the problem is, you 
know how the book will end.  Not so with HP which makes it 
interesting and worth reading!
