Another line in the same vein that gives me additional hope for 
Harry's survival is at the end of HPB:  "He (Harry) had known there 
was no hope from the moment the full Body-Bind Curse Dumbledore 
placed upon him lifted, known that it could have happened only 
because its castor was dead, but there was still no preparation for 
seeing him here, spread-eagled, broken: the greatest wizard Harry 
had ever or would ever meet."

The last three words of that rather long sentence gave me pause as I 
re-read them this afternoon.  Would JKR have included them if "would 
ever" refers only to one more year of Harry's life?  No proof either 
way, but it seems likely not.

Lilygale, who is mentally preparing herself for mourning Snape's 
demise but is in total denial regarding even the possibility of 
Harry's death
