I think she's alive. I've read too many fanfics where she's alive and scarred to change my mind now. Plus, she would have been named among the dead. I'm sure of it. JKR would never do something so ambiguous and leave us with the doubt. Oh wait...
HEEE! Yes, you can't trust her, the wily old author! You capture my conundrum nicely, though like you, I tend to fall on the alive side of the question.
Oh! You know what just happened? I was going to rec you this amazing story I read about Lavander being locked up by his dad... And then Ohh. Yeah, no, she knows that story. ^^
Bwahahahaha! That was the story that started all of this in my head! And then when I was flicking through DH again tonight, I thought, 'Well, since the reveals for that fest are up, I can ask now!' It was all connected!
