Well, the books are seven, and so are the years in Hogwarts. Coincidence? I dont think so! So i bet the school will reopen and that Harry is going to be there as a "regular" student, but with more "freedom of movement"About the portrait idea i think is just lame, and thats for a simple reason: As DD say, every death director has the possibility to walk from one of their portraits to another to help the new director, even if they dont like it. And there is a reason than DD is going to be the most informed character in the last book: The chocolate toads!! and thats why he was always so concerned about him being pulling out of em.
So Harry wont have to go to the portrait in the Directors office, just look at his card and talk to it (but he is very slow so i bet he wont notice that until the chapter 20 or something...)
