I'm already stressed about whether Harry will die, but 
the question of doing it to keep people from asking for 
more books doesn't seem to follow for me. A quick glimpse 
of fan fiction shows how many story spinoffs can be created 
that aren't necessarily about Harry. Regardless of what 
happens to Harry, people will want sequels for whoever 
their favorite surviving secondary character is.

JK knows this.  And she's also shown from the beginning that 
she's going to write the story she's always meant to write.  
Harry's life or death will be for what she considers the best 
interest of the story.
