I agree that one of the 2 will probably be Harry.

Rowling said:

"A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras do they? They go for the main characters. Well, I do."

And this part:

While she wouldn't reveal if one of the two characters is Harry himself, Rowling added that she has never been tempted to kill him off before the final book because she had always planned seven.

"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, 'Well, I'm gonna kill them off because that means there can be no non-author written sequels. So it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."


Means that even before someone accepted to publish any of the Harry Potter Books at all that she had always planned on it being just 7 Books in total; no more no less. Which means that she always wanted to keep Harry alive until the last book so that way if she did decide to kill Harry she would wait until the last book to do it. One Main Rule in Books & even in Movies is that if Prue Good goes up against Prue Evil you can have one side survive while the other is destoryed, have both sides destoryed because of how fierce & intense the final battle was, or have both sides survive to fight again another day.

It just seems from the way things have gone & are going Rowling is going for the second choice.
