Hickengruendler:

I believe Hogwarts will reopen. The ending of HBP just feels that way 
for me, particularly the scene with the teachers in the Headmaster's 
office. I just don't think JKR would have included this scene and 
have the teachers talking about wanting to teach everyone, eho still 
wnats to come, if she didn't plan to reopen Hogwarts in Deathly 
Hallows.
