I think she might have created the cliffhanger ending to let the readers make up their own ending. Also, I think she might have wrote a cliffhanger ending to show that life is good for Lily now, but who knows whats going to happen in the end? I, as many other readers, wish she had given it a more closed ending, but it's not a BAD ending. She's just trying to say that no matters what ending we make up for her, we'll never know for sure how Lily's life will end up.
