I think she will stick to her roots and have Harry go in a courageous fight just so that the story is not wrapped in a bow and especially because she is getting progressively darker with the continuation of the series.

If she sticks to her roots, then Harry will not die. The Harry Potter series follows the paradigm of fantasy and Quest literature, and the quest must be achieved, which means Voldemort must die.
Harry living, though, doesn't mean living happily ever after -- part of the Quest genre is that achieving the quest does not come without paying a price. Perhaps he will forever bear a scar much deeper than the one on his forehead.
