I realize almost everybody on this list wants Harry to live, but they
also want book 7 to be as good as it's possible to be. I believe these
two wishes are incompatible. A good work or art should tie your
emotions into a knot and Harry's death would do exactly that.

Imagine just for the sake of argument that in 80 days or so as you
come to the end of the book you suddenly realize that Harry Potter is
dead; and we don't see him cavorting with his parents and Dumbledore
in the afterlife, no, he's just dead. I believe that moment will stick
with you. And worldwide there will be riots in the streets. How could
any author resist making a sensation like that?
