IMHO, I believe that Harry lives, because it is a children's/YA series after all and the central character of such series never die, JKR will not buck that canon.
And about the idea Harry is a horcrux, which is why some think he will die, Harry is not a horcrux!
This idea makes no sense in light of the prophesy for one, and why would Voldemort put part of his soul into someone he might have to fight anyway. If he kills Harry, he's wasted part of his soul. Also, I reject the idea that Harry became a horcrux as an unintentional byproduct of the rebounding of Voldemort's killing curse. The byproduct is known and is the empathic bound between the two, and that's all, IMHO.
Remember too that all the horcruxes have to be destroyed before Voldemort is vulnerable to death. If Harry is a horcrux, then Harry must die first, then Voldemort. So it would mean that Harry would have to loose a killing curse at Voldemort just after Voldemort loosed a killing curse against him--that is very tricky timing!.
I take the prophecy to mean that vanquishing Voldemort it Harry's job--no chance that Voldemort becomes vulnerable with a Harry sacrifice and with Harry dead, someone else kills Voldemort.
First, we are assuming that either Harry or Voldemort dies. I believe that Harry lives, because it is a children's/YA series after all and the central character of such series never die, JKR will not buck that canon.
Otherwise: My handicapping, in order of likelihood (IMHO):
Ron, Percy, Pettigrew, Fred/George, Neville, Lupin, Hagrid, Hermione, Petunia, Dudley, Tonks, Mr./Mrs. Weasley, Malfoy, Ginny, Bill, Fleur, Luna, Snape.

I'm guessing Ron. If Hermione dies, well, we'd be left with a /very/ uneven male to female ratio. And if Harry dies, well, then there's no way Ms. Rowling can change her mind about this being the last Harry Potter book (I'm almost certain she'll at least write a prequal.)

Hopefully not Harry. That's not a very good answer, I know. But no one knows. I really don't want to make any guesses since most of my hunches tell me that a character I really like might die. I hope it's NOT Hagrid, Lupin, Hermione, Ron, or Mr. Weasley.
Some people say that Ginny might die, but I think that'd be stupid since Harry already has enough motivation to kill Voldemort and killing Ginny would just make the whole thing seem like a sappy soap.
No idea who actually dies though, sorry.

I think Ron is going to jump in front of a killing curse that voldemort tries to shoot at Harry, giving him just enough time to do whatever he has to do with the last horcrux.

Voldemort, my guess would be :)
Not to mention the crew (Harry, Hermione, Ron...) which will lay down their lives for the good of wizarddom only to be resurrected once all of Voldie's spells are revoked.
Wicked!

No one knows for sure! Only guesses. And, yeah, this question is soooo over-done! It's burnt to a crisp. Just wait for the book to come out and skip to the back, like I am sure so many are going to do. (Shame on ya'll.)
