Just for fun:
> 
> 1) Is Dumbledore truly dead?

**Yes. I think, somehow, his picture says it all....
> 
> 2) Do you believe Snape betrayed Dumbledore?

**I am really torn here. I have my suspicions that Snape did as DD 
wanted. But are we being fed a red herring and Snape is just really 
a bad guy?
> 
> 3) Are Lupin & Tonks really a couple or is this a red herring?

**Not a red herring. I was so thrilled to have Lupin find someone 
and we learned that if someone is unhappy enough, they lose some of 
their powers.
> 
> 4) Who loved Snape? Has Snape loved anyone?

**Not a clue. I do think he loved or at least was attracted to Lily. 
She was very popular.
> 
> 5) Will any of the trio die?

**No, but I can't say why....
> 
> 6) Will Harry & Ginny reunite?

**Yes, I see Ginny not taking the separation lying down and she is 
also very, very talented and will have Harry's back whether he 
realizes it or not.
> 
> 7) Will any/all of the trio go back to Hogwarts for book 7?

**I say definitely, yes. Hogwarts has not outlived it's usefulness. 
Besides Harry may still have unfinished business there. I think he 
will be persuaded to go back at least for a bit. (Possibly to get 
away from the MoM!)
> 
> 8) Is Harry's scar a horcrux?

**No. It may be a byproduct of LV trying to make a horcrux via 
Harry's death.
> 
> 9) Why wasn't Fawkes seen in any of DD's memories?

**Not sure. Maybe he simply wasn't there at that particular moment.
 
> 10) Which major characters are most likely to die in book 7?

**A Weasley, a teacher, possibly even Hagrid.
> 
> 11) Will DD's portrait be able to help Harry?

**Definitely, yes. And I think it will be important in persuading 
Harry to return to Hogwarts. 
> 
> 12) What role will McGongall play in book 7?

**Possibly headmistress. Certainly she is still a participating 
member of OoP. Also she will be useful in keeping the MoM off 
Harry's back.
> 
> 13) Will Harry go back to the Dursley's as he is supposed to?

**Yes, but I see only until at least his birthday and then he will 
leave. I see him staying a bit at the Weasleys but having to go to 
Grimmauld Place because of the danger he will pose to the Weasleys.
> 
> 14) Will the DA or OOTP reform to help Harry?

**I think so, with possibly Neville and Luna being the instigators.
> 
> 15) Will Wormtail repay his lifedebt?

**Yes, but I figure it will be resolved near the end of book 7.
> 
> 16) Will the imprisoned Deatheaters escape from Azkaban?

**Maybe, maybe not. It may actually be safer to sit in Azkaban right 
now and lay low, rather than break out and put one's life on the 
line for LV. If LV is defeated, you can always say you were 
threatened etc. If he wins it makes for a great excuse as to why you 
didn't join in the fun....
> 
> 17) Will Kreature hinder or aid Harry if he appears in book 7?

**Kreacher will always be on the lookout for a way to hinder Harry, 
but I think Dobby has him pretty well in hand. Dobby can be somewhat 
fanatical where Harry is concerned....
> 
> 18) What is your take on Harry having "his mothers eyes"?

**I think Harry's features symbolize that he has the best of both 
his parents. 
> 
> 19) Did Snape actually help LV at Godric's Hollow?

**After reading part 3 of the JKR interview a bit ago, I suspect he 
just might have been if he is as truly bad as he is now 
appearing...... Otherwise, I would say Wormtail took LV there....
