I'm hoping this will give us a clear idea of how we are all feeling 
about the happenings in book 6 and what we expect of book 7. Just 
for fun:

Now Nickel (me): Great idea! Here are my answers...

1) Is Dumbledore truly dead?
Nickel -- I think he is truly dead.

2) Do you believe Snape betrayed Dumbledore?
Nickel -- I am still clinging to my hope that Snape isn't ESE and 
that Dumbledore's trust in him was not a mistake. So, I have to 
believe that Snape did not betray Dumbledore.

3) Are Lupin & Tonks really a couple or is this a red herring?
Nickel -- Lupin is one of my favourite characters so I hope that 
they are really a couple - I want him to have some happiness!

4) Who loved Snape? Has Snape loved anyone?
Nickel -- I think his Mother loved him. I also think he may have had 
some feelings for Lily or Narcissa (these may not necessarily have 
been romantic feelings but maybe friendship or some kind of respect).

5) Will any of the trio die?
Nickel -- I don't think so. At least, I hope not.

6) Will Harry & Ginny reunite?
Nickel -- Yes. After all, isn't love the most powerful magic and if 
Harry denies himself that, he is not doing himself any favours.
 
7) Will any/all of the trio go back to Hogwarts for book 7?
Nickel -- I don't think they will return as students but they may 
return in their search for the horcruxes.

8) Is Harry's scar a horcrux?
Nickel -- At the moment I say No... but I have read some really 
interesting posts by people about the subject so I may change my 
opinion of this at some point. 
 
9) Why wasn't Fawkes seen in any of DD's memories?
Nickel -- Fawkes isn't always with Dumbledore.
 
10) Which major characters are most likely to die in book 7?
Nickel -- Maybe Hagrid and Snape but I really have no idea.

11) Will DD's portrait be able to help Harry? 
Nickel -- I think it may be able to give him some more answers about 
things but I don't really know that limitations on what the 
portraits can do.

12) What role will McGongall play in book 7?
Nickel -- She will keep Hogwarts open and continue educating young 
wizards. She will also remain a loyal member of the OotP.

13) Will Harry go back to the Dursley's as he is supposed to?
Nickel -- He will return there for a little while - I think there 
are still some questions about the Dursleys that need to be answered.

14) Will the DA or OOTP reform to help Harry?
Nickel -- The OotP will continue to exist and work with Harry 
against Voldemort and the Death Eaters. I don't think the DA will 
reform, but I think Neville and Luna will continue to fight in some 
way.

15) Will Wormtail repay his lifedebt?
Nickel -- Yes. I think that a situation will arise in which he will 
need to do something to help Harry. 

16) Will the imprisoned Deatheaters escape from Azkaban?
Nickel -- Probably. 

17) Will Kreature hinder or aid Harry if he appears in book 7?
Nickel -- I don't think Kreature will ever help Harry.
 
18) What is your take on Harry having "his mothers eyes"?
Nickel --

19) Did Snape actually help LV at Godric's Hollow?
Nickel -- I think he was at Godric's Hollow, but not necessarily 
there helping LV. If he was already working for Dumbledore and truly 
felt sorry that he had alerted LV to the existance of the prophecy, 
he may have been there trying to help the Potters.
