Godric's Hollow is gonna be very important as is Snape and the whole 
thing with Harry's eyes!  She says Snape could still turn out to be 
either bad or good but she's not telling us which.  The really big 
death comes in book five.

I hope Snape turns out good, but is still a creep.  I think Arabella 
Figg ~is~ Mrs. Figg, not a relative.  A squib would be less 
conspicuous in the muggle world, but she can easily get word to 
Dumble.  As long as Vold. was not a threat, all she had to do was 
keep watch.  He's coming back now, so Dumble sent for her, needs to 
get word to her.  

Okay, I think JKR confirming that G's Hollow is important, really 
convinces me that Harry's Gryffindor's descedant.  All the hints, 
James and Lily living in G's H, Harry's wand making the red and gold 
sparks, Harry pulling Gryff's sword out of the sorting hat and what 
Dumble tells Harry afterward, the sorting hat putting Harry in Gryff--
when Harry thinks to the hat he doesn't want to be in Slyth the hat 
says "better be Gryffindor" why not one of the other houses?  (Okay, 
I know I'm reaching <g>).  Now, I know there's a popular theory that 
Lily has Slyth blood, but why not James?  Does everybody feel that 
the many times JKR's mentioned how much Harry, Tom Riddle, and James 
all resemble each other is just a red herring?  I just can't let this 
go.  Couldn't Lily be descended from Gryff?  Maybe she turned up on 
Petunia's parents doorstep the way Harry ended up with the Dursleys.  
Petunia's parents raised her as their own, and Petunia never knew; or 
maybe she did.  Maybe Godric Gryffindor has emerald green eyes.  
Everyone just assumed Lily was muggle-born.  Couldn't Harry be 
descended from both Slyth and Gryff?  It was Gryff and Slyth who had 
the big blow out all those years ago; Harry being descended from both 
would be a great twist.

Okay, tell me what you all think...
