his office proves it IMO!

(That's as far as I've got in one week!!!)

Really a couple.
> 
> 4) Who loved Snape? Has Snape loved anyone?   His mother loved him.

stand it!

> 6) Will Harry & Ginny reunite?  I think so if they are both alive 
after the defeat of LV.
> 
> 7) Will any/all of the trio go back to Hogwarts for book 7?  Not 
as students (I'm really sad about this so if I'm wrong - hurrah!!)
> 
> 8) Is Harry's scar a horcrux?    No.
> 
> 9) Why wasn't Fawkes seen in any of DD's memories?   He wasn't 
there at those times.  He didn't go around with him on his shoulder!
> 
> 10) Which major characters are most likely to die in book 7?   Any 
or all of them!
> 
> 11) Will DD's portrait be able to help Harry?  I expect so, maybe 
by helping Harry talk through Harry's own thoughts to pick out the 
relevant bits.
> 
> 12) What role will McGongall play in book 7?  Quite minor I 
think.  Maybe she will allow Harry into Hogwarts to speak to DD's 
portrait when the Ministry have banned him or something similar, but 
I don't think she'll be prominant or in the thick of any battle 
(unless the final battle actually takes place inside Hogwarts).
> 
> 13) Will Harry go back to the Dursley's as he is supposed to?  Yes 
I'm really hoping that as he leaves, Aunt Petunia takes him to one 
side and whispers "Be careful" or something that indicates that she 
is concerned about him.
> 
> 14) Will the DA or OOTP reform to help Harry?  I think the OotP 
will continue with a new leader (possibly Mad-Eye) anyway and they 
will assist Harry as much as they can.  I think the DA is gone - 
only Neville and Luna answered the call this time and I think they 
will do likewise in 7.
> 
> 15) Will Wormtail repay his lifedebt?  If it is something that you 
HAVE to do - like if you break the unbreakable vow you die - then 
yes, but if it's just an honour thing then No.  He has no honour.
> 
> 16) Will the imprisoned Deatheaters escape from Azkaban?  Highly 
likely
> 
> 17) Will Kreature hinder or aid Harry if he appears in book 7?  He 
will be forced to obey Harry's commands, but I'm not sure that he 
will feature prominantly.
> 
> 18) What is your take on Harry having "his mothers eyes"?  I think 
that the reflection charm (or whatever it was) that deflected LV's 
AK when he was one was transferred into Harry's eyes by his mother 
from her own eyes.  I think it's a charm she invented and she 
sacrificed herself by transferring it to Harry.
> 
> 19) Did Snape actually help LV at Godric's Hollow?  I definitely 
think he was there and based on the fact that I'm going through 
a 'Yes' phase to Q2, I'll say Yes to this too!
