I sorta feel that I know what you're getting at, but "Hermione lives" seems like a precondition for "Harry wins", no?

By "wins" I just meant "beats the bad guy(s)".

There is a very significant risk that without Hermione, Harry will become a bad guy. That's what the Hat warned him about, and we have reasons to think that it's why Quirrelmort tried to remove Hermione from Harry. And that's what the prophecies seem to be warning about.

The bad guy(s) relative to Harry. Hermione coming back is important whichever way his morality goes.
