My predictions...

Death predictions
Book 5: a beloved adult friend of Ron, Harry and Hermione. Possibly 
Lupin or <gasp> Hagrid.

Book 6: Dumbledore, although Dumbledore's introductions in the Comic 
Relief-UK books might indicated he does survive Book 7.

Book 7: Harry. Black and Snape will work together to rebuild the 
wizarding world's infra-structure.


Percy
His fate depends upon whether or not Dumbledore was able to inform 
and persuade other Ministry officials about Voldemort's rise and 
Fudge's cover-up. If Dumbledore is unsuccessful or marginally so, 
Percy could very well be in Azkaban for Crouch Sr's murder in book 5 
(see  message # 20037) or Percy could be Ministry jobless in book 5.

If Dumbledore is successful in persuading the Ministry, Percy's job 
might remain in tact and he might even have a different position. 
Whatever happens to Percy job-wise, I suspect his loyality to his 
family will be tested. 

The Female DADA teacher
I agree with who-ever said she'll have some sort of past with Black, 
Lupin, Snape, James and Lily. Who knows? Maybe she's the Florence 
whom Bertha saw kissing someone near the green houses. Or she might 
be one of Lily's school friends (perhaps Harry's godmother?). I even 
suspect that she'll have some sort of connection with the Order of 
the Phoenix. Which leads me....

Order of the Phoenix
Lots of speculation about what this could possibly be and all the 
specualtion is very good. I think, however, the OoP is an ancient 
secret society that fights dark wizards. I like to think they aren't 
the "old crowd" of Dumbledore's, but a more covert group with a lot 
of legends about them and their mission, similar to the legends 
surrounding the Knights Templar or the Free Masons. I don't think 
that Dumbledore is a member of the OoP, but someone else at Hogwarts 
is and will be under suspicion of treachery throughout the book.
