Lady Potions: " As I have pondered the seventh book I think I would
like an alternate ending book. Think about it, so much death and for
what?"

"Why kill Hedwig? Why Dobby?"

Death is random. Death is chance. Good people (and elves) die in wars,
and it usually doesn't make sense which ones live or die, and that was
JKR's powerful point. But all the good characters who died died for a
reason: to rid the world of a great evil and to give those who were
left a better world to live and grow up in. 

Lesley: "Hi, I agree with you about the unnecessary good guy deaths
especially Hedwig's, which I found really upsetting but what I don't
understand is why none of the death-eaters died until the final battle?"

We likely just didn't see those deaths, but also they were more likely
to cast Killing Curses than the good guys were.
