Mm, I think so in my heart of hearts, but as harry is a Dumbledore's 
man I feel his spirit will live on - maybe there will be a  
reappearance in a kind of altered state, or he will have left 
important memories for Harry to view in a Pensieve ... we can't just 
say he's gone and that's it.

> 2) Do you believe Snape betrayed Dumbledore?
No.  I think there was some kind of bargain struck, maybe he was in 
an unbreakable vow and he knew he was going to die anyway, but Snape 
had to give the final fatal blow.  I cannot really reconcile the fact 
that DD had so much unwavering trust in him with him betraying him 
apparently so badly - there is definitely more to it.

> 3) Are Lupin & Tonks really a couple or is this a red herring?
Oh yes, I think they make a lovely couple - they'll be good together
> 
> 4) Who loved Snape? Has Snape loved anyone?
Well in my fanfic ... I'm sure Lily might figure somewhere in his 
heart.  the denoument of the entire tale will come down to love 
conquering all, so there must be someone for Sev

> 5) Will any of the trio die?
I don't think so - I hope not
> 
> 6) Will Harry & Ginny reunite?
Yes, because love will conquer all - see above answer
> 
> 7) Will any/all of the trio go back to Hogwarts for book 7?
Hermione will use the library for research, and Ron and Hermione will 
use the astronomy tower for secret assignations.  Hogwarts will 
figure in book 7, but not as much as previous books
> 
> 8) Is Harry's scar a horcrux?
Ohh, I thought of that too, but maybe its a bit obvious.  If Harry 
died than so would part of Voldy, but if harry lived then so would 
part of Voldy - its a lose/lose situation isn't it?  Jo loves those 
kind of dilemmas.  maybe Harry will come to that conclusion 
erroneously and kill himself to save the wizarding world - so scrap 
answer five - Harry dies.

> 9) Why wasn't Fawkes seen in any of DD's memories?
Not important to the memories
> 
> 10) Which major characters are most likely to die in book 7?
Draco or another Malfoy, Bella and Neville
> 
> 11) Will DD's portrait be able to help Harry? 
Yes, and the memories from the Pensieves see above
> 
> 12) What role will McGongall play in book 7?
She will be the voice of reason and caution that Hermione will listen 
to and everyone else will ignore
> 
> 13) Will Harry go back to the Dursley's as he is supposed to?
Yes, and then relish leaving them and packing his bags for Grimmauld 
Place while he embarks on a huge restoration project on Godric's 
Hollow.  He will get a grant from the local council and start a 
restaurant there

> 14) Will the DA or OOTP reform to help Harry?
OotP are still together aren't they?  Dumbledore's army will be the 
Hogwart's support for the trio in their quest for the Horcruxes
> 
> 15) Will Wormtail repay his lifedebt?
Shouldn't think so for a minute, but he'll definitely die in the 
process of running away - I predict an Avada Kedavra in the back
> 
> 16) Will the imprisoned Deatheaters escape from Azkaban?
Probably, but my gut instinct is that many will turn their back on 
Voldy when it comes to the crunch
> 
> 17) Will Kreature hinder or aid Harry if he appears in book 7?
Hinder mostly, but then turn up trumps (or dead) in the end and Harry 
will mount his head and have it above the feature fireplace in the 
new restaurant
> 
> 18) What is your take on Harry having "his mothers eyes"?
They're green
> 
> 19) Did Snape actually help LV at Godric's Hollow?
Maybe not intentionally.

I haven't thought much about these answers, or read what anyone else 
has put - they are my gut instincts and may change when I reread HBP 
again.
