Hedwig had to die in this book.  Harry could not use her in book 7
while he was on the run.  Very much like when in book 4 Sirius said
not to use Hedwig to send him letters and things.  She was too
noticible.  Like Hermione put it, Great Snowy Owls are not native to
England.  Harry using Hedwig would have shown both the Ministry and
Voldemort just where HRH were.
