Ceridwen:
Another possiblity is that his story finishes at the end of DH. He
settles down to lead a quiet life, marries, has kids, goes to work
every day, comes home every night, occasionally goes out with the wife
for dinner, and occasionally gets together with old friends. Sort-of
like Arthur Weasley, without the excitement of Order business.
Who would want to read something like that? I know we all like Harry,
and are interested in what he'll do after he defeats LV (DisneyWorld?),
but his story, the one we're reading, the one we're interested in,
comes to a close when LV dies.
