because it missed the point of the scene if she died. This!
I always saw this as the scene in which Hermione saves Lavender. When I read DH, I took it to mean she was bitten, bleeding, injured, but alive. Yes it's a battle, but I imagine medical help was available. I imagine Poppy was rushing casting healing spells instead of Curses. Someone had the time to line up the dead, so surely they were dealing with the wounded.
To me, the films are just a fan work. Fun, enjoyable, but NOT canon. Unless JKR publishes a revised DH in which Lavender explicitly dies, then we have as much right to saw that she survived as any other character not explicitly killed.
