Alla:

Oh, I agree that she is thinking in terms of 2007, absolutely ;)

I was just hoping that his time in Azkaban would be, you know - 
forever and ever. Dementors to me is metaphor of such horrible 
imaginery, that I would not wish it even on Snape, but I am 
certainly not adverse to Snape having normal nightmares every night 
of his stay in Azkaban, say seeing Lily and James and of course very 
dead Dumbledore. Yep, very suitable to me.

Alla:

Totally, it can be a possibility about three heads of the houses as 
you are saying, but actually I was quite serious when I was 
speculating that the characters that are going to survive are on the
list ( obviously I was not the one who thought about it, but I like 
it).

I mean, yes, she does not seem to wish Happy Birthday to Bella, 
Lucius, etc - so the possibility is there that she wishes Happy 
Birthday to good characters and at some point I thought that way 
too, but to me it is also plausible that Bella, Lucius, etc would 
also end up dead at the end, so not only they are bad, they are also 
dead in 2007, if it makes sense.

Oh, and Draco to me makes perfect sense, if she was thinking of the 
future, I cannot stand him, but after HBP he can certainly take 
redemptive route IMO.
