One thought that makes me slightly more hopeful for Harry's 
survival. His choice of NEWTS.

To be an Auror, Professor McGonagall suggested he take Potions, 
Transfiguration, Charms and DADA. And so he did. 

Now his other 'Exceeds Expectations' OWLs were Care of Magical 
Creatures, and Herbology. Because he doesn't want to face any more 
deadly little pets of Hagrid, he picks Herbology for his fifth NEWT. 

This gives him the NEWTs required for a career as an Auror - but his 
one optional subject of Herbology means he also has exactly the 
right subjects required for a career as a Healer.

I think either he'll be persuaded against his decision to leave 
Hogwarts, or if Book 7 is out in the wider Wizarding World, it will 
end with Harry deciding to return to complete his NEWTs, and follow 
his new career path. Because I can't think of anything that would 
fit more with JKR's general ethos than her hero deciding his life is 
best spent healing others.

And what was Lily's job? Given that we now know she was studying 
potions as well as charms...
