In another thread, someone asked whether Harry might die at the end of the series. Since it wasn't really related to the subject, I thought I'd open up a new one.
I think she could justifiably kill him off. I don't think she will, but she would be justified in doing so. Authors can do surprising things or things that readers don't necessarily want to see; they only have to justify themselves. For example, I don't think that Rowling would be justified in making anyone but Lily and James Harry's parents because of all the evidence she has given that they are his parents, which y'all have outlined above. Bad authors will give evidence of one thing and then do the opposite. J.K. Rowling is not a bad author.
So, what I'm getting at is that J.K. Rowling could be setting the stage for Harry's death. The prophecy about him and Voldemort was revealed in book five, which leaves it ambiguous which one of them will die.
What evidence do all of you see as to who will die at the end of the series--Harry or Voldemort?
