What I meant is I don't want him to die at all, I want him to survive, and perhaps sometime in the future overcome his demons and find a little peace, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen, not after he killed Dumbledore, even if that was what Dumbledore wanted. (If nothing else, on a practical level, no one's going to believe him, whatever he may say, or do. He'd be off to Azkaban in no time.) I think 'heroic death' is the 'best' he's going to get... ::sigh::
