I'd expected her to kill off Harry's owl in this book, because I thought (mistakenly) that Harry was destined to end up with Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix. So I'm not all that upset that Hedwig died. But I'm furious that JKR killed off this majestic owl by having the Death Eaters shoot her down while she was caged.
Death. Hedwig was killed in 1997 during the Battle of the Seven Potters. While aboard Hagrid's flying motorcycle with Harry she was struck by a Killing Curse, possibly aimed at Hagrid or Harry. She was killed instantly and fell like a rag doll to the bottom of her cage.

In the book, Hedwig was killed as she sat in her cage by Harry's side – as she had so many times before – as they attempted to escape on the back of Hagrid's motorcycle. In the film, the scene was made even more heartbreaking, as Hedwig was killed while attempting to protect Harry from Death Eaters.
Why did Snape betray the Order during the battle of the seven Potters?
When Snape heard the prophecy and pleaded with Voldemort to spare Lily's life, he may have inadvertently caused his downfall. While we know Voldemort killed Lily, he did give her a choice. If she stepped aside and allowed him to murder Harry, he would spare her. Lily refused and sacrificed herself to save her son.

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid tells Harry that he 'don' like cats' because they make him sneeze, which is why he chose to buy Harry an owl, Hedwig, for his birthday present.

She wasnt madam Pomfrey. Meaning, while she had a general knowledge of various spells, she did not have the expertise in healing specific spells to be able to heal a death wound on a house elf. Their physiology is very different from wizards.
