Do you mean strictly from the standpoint HP following the alchemical
experimentation to end with a PS?
Yes. If HP is an alchemical story then why does HP not find the PS in
Book 7?
It's a story with alchemical symbolism *not* a story of an alchemist.
Rowling preconceived the narrative line.
There is little doubt in my mind that Ms. Rowling created a structured
outline of her Septology. The proof lies within the exquisite and
complex construction. The multiple narratives with and overlapping one
another.
In your terms, it begins with the ending and ends with the
beginning. That's her prerogative.
Keep in mind /who/ the PS is, the second timeline, the inside narrative.
It is Harry.
Here is a perfect example of what I prescribe. Harry is transfigured
and transformed from self full to selfless as the books roll from I to
VII. Quite similar to the creation of the PS.
Yet as Wil points out, the books refuse to follow thematically the
same process of the Stone.
