Some of the Point of View characters from the first book (Jon, Bran, Sansa, Cat, Ned, Arya, Tyrion and Danny - iirc are the first book ones) are still alive at the end of the 5th one.

Secondary characters though... Yeah don't get attached. In every one of the books they manage to slaughter who ever my favorite secondary character at the time was. Like Arya's dancing teacher in the first one.

And just because someone becomes a POV character, that doesn't mean they're any safer than they were before either (as he adds new point of view chars to replace the casualties of the previous books).
