> 
> 1) Is Dumbledore truly dead?

Yes.  And he's not coming back, either - JKR has publicly said that 
those who die stay dead.  My husband has a theory, though, that DD is 
only "mostly" dead, and really just needs to visit Miracle Max.

> 
> 2) Do you believe Snape betrayed Dumbledore?

I haven't made up my mind yet.  I'd like to think no, but I'm not 
sure.

> 
> 3) Are Lupin & Tonks really a couple or is this a red herring?

Yes, they're a couple.  Tonks "changed" him.  *grin*

> 
> 4) Who loved Snape? Has Snape loved anyone?

I think Snape's mom loved him.  And I think Snape really did have a 
thing for Lily.

> 
> 5) Will any of the trio die?

I heard this great theory where Harry dies, and it was very well 
done.  I don't think Hermione or Ron will die.

> 
> 6) Will Harry & Ginny reunite?

Only if Harry lives.

> 
> 7) Will any/all of the trio go back to Hogwarts for book 7?

No.

> 
> 8) Is Harry's scar a horcrux?

No.  

> 
> 9) Why wasn't Fawkes seen in any of DD's memories?

Because he wasn't in those particular scenes.  Perhaps DD didn't own 
Fawkes until later.

> 
> 10) Which major characters are most likely to die in book 7?

Voldemort.  Duh.  *grin*

> 
> 11) Will DD's portrait be able to help Harry? 

Maybe, to give him background information.  But not much else.

> 
> 12) What role will McGongall play in book 7?

I don't think her role will change.

> 
> 13) Will Harry go back to the Dursleys as he is supposed to?

Yes.  And he will hopefully talk to Petunia and we'll find out more 
about her because I'm dying to know how she knew about Dementors, and 
what else she knows.

> 
> 14) Will the DA or OOTP reform to help Harry?

Even if they did, I don't think he'd want to accept it.

> 
> 15) Will Wormtail repay his lifedebt?

No, because it's not a life debt.  At no point does anyone in canon 
call it a life debt - it's known as a wizard's debt, and that does 
not necessarily mean that Peter has to die.  

I do believe Peter will make good on the wizard's debt.

> 
> 16) Will the imprisoned Deatheaters escape from Azkaban?

Er...didn't they already?  Or are we assuming there are more of 
them?  If there are more, then why didn't they break free already?

> 
> 17) Will Kreature hinder or aid Harry if he appears in book 7?

Aid, because Harry is his master.  But Kreacher will try to hinder as 
best he can.

> 
> 18) What is your take on Harry having "his mothers eyes"?

Genetics.

> 
> 19) Did Snape actually help LV at Godric's Hollow?

No.
