I think this was another of JK's little red herrings as she said a loved character would die but she never said this person would die in book 4. It seems that she deliberately did not say so that people would jump to that conclusion and duly people did. I feel this because even now in interviews since book 4 was released she still says that she is going to have to kill of characters that she loves for certain things to happen in the books.

I'm not going to get on to the who will die argument as that has been going on for ages and there is a current discussion on it, all I'll say is that I am in the Dumbledore to die (defiantly) and either Sirius or Lupin too but NOT both - that would be too much loss for Harry to deal with and would be cruelly unfair of JK, to deprive Harry of the last too decent links he has to his parents, Dumbledore might have been close but he wasn't James' best mate and I can't see Peter being too helpful.
I'm not saying no one else will die but I think those are the definites.

HOLLYDAZE!!!
