> 1.  What new magical place will we visit?
Another dimension/alternate plane of existence/parallel universe only 
accessible to wizards, probably via the infamous 'secret' room of 
Hogwarts. My theories don't extend as to what the dimension etc does.

> 2.  Are any of the Dursleys wizards?  Who?
Dudley is my most likely candidate, but Petunia is a close second.

> 3.  Identify the next DADA teacher.
Professor Grubbly-Plank!

> 4.  Which "beloved" character(s) will die?  Any other deaths, and 
if so, who?
I hate to say this, but my best guess is Lupin. Or Hagrid. But put me 
down for Lupin ;)
  
> 5.  Of Lupin, Sirius, Krum, Fleur, Lockhart, Winky, Dobby, Moody, 
> Bagman, Madam Maxime, which characters will have roles in OoP?
Lupin, Sirius and Dobby will all have roles; I'd say that JKR will 
save up Krum and Fleur for later books.

> 6.  At the end of OoP, will Dumbledore be the headmaster?
Yes.

> 7.  At the end of OoP, will Fudge be the Minister of Magic?
Yes.

> 8.  At the end of OoP, will Neville be the same forgetful boy, or 
> will he have changed in some way?
Neville will remain the same forgetful boy, although in Harry's eyes 
he may change, if Neville publicly reveals his secret.

> 9.  At the end of OoP, will Sirius have cleared his name?
No.

> 10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?
Yes.

> 11.  Of the following magical things, which will a character use or 
> confront:  pensieve, veritaserum, boggart, Marauder's Map, whomping 
> willow, polyjuice potion, nifflers, portkeys, rememberall, floo 
> powder, time turner, sneakoscope, foe glass, secrecy sensor, knight 
> bus.
The Marauder's Map, portkeys and floo powder are all the most likely 
magical objects for OoP.

> 12.  Will there be Quiddich?  If so, who will be the Gryffindor 
> Keeper?  Gryffindor Captain?
There will be Quidditch, and we'll be seeing some new players... 
Harry won't be the captain, by the way.

> 13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus?  Who?
No.

> 14.  Who is Mundungus Fletcher?
Arabella Figg's estranged husband.

> 15.  Will Wormtail use his silver hand in an important way?
No.

As for my real prediction... I think we'll find out something 
unexpected surrounding Lily's past. It's her turn, after all ;)
