Julie:
I'm not sure many of the deleted scenes from movies 1-5 are
particularly pivotal to events in DH, except perhaps the
deleted part where Snape calls Lily a "mudblood." (The 
identity of the makers of the Marauders Map, for instance,
doesn't really have any bearing by the time of the DH
events.) I'm sure the "mudblood" scene, or something
similar to it (where Snape insults Lily and causes the 
end of their relationship) will be included during the
memories dying Snape gives to Harry. 

I find it interesting that one of the most linear of the
book plotlines is going to be spread into two movies, 
which may simply mean virtually everything in the final 
will be in the two movies (more fully fleshed out, as you
say). One thing I would love to see is actual added scenes
at Hogwarts--rather than the Trio hearing secondhand what
Ginny, Neville, et al are up to there, we could see them
planning and carrying out their defiance. And of course I'd
love to see Snape playing out his balancing act of staying
in character as a DE while trying to keep the Carrows'
bloodthirsty impulses in check. (I love the Trio, but I am
one of those who thought their isolation lasted too long
and wished we could have touched base more often with the
other characters.)

All IMO,

Julie
