I'm not going to flame...

I do believe that Dumbledore will die, but he won't die until Book 7,
when Harry has to go face V alone. Rowling won't take V out until the
final book. My prediction is that the big battle will come towards the
end of the book (possibly even the last chapter before the "what happens
to he survivors" chapter). I think it will end up being the classic
mentor/student type situation. Harry is about to meet his destiny, and
he *will* have to do it alone. Dumbledore has always been around to
help, but he simply cannot be for this last battle, because Harry will
only find the true strength an power if he's on his own. So just when
Harry needs him most, Dumbledore is going to be wiped out. I honestly
don't think D will survive the series. If D survives, Harry won't...I
think that only one of the two will survive.

I'm not sure which adult is going to die, but it's a fan of Harry's and
beloved character. That's one reason why I think it might Hagrid, but
now that I think about it...it could very well be Sirius or Lupin. Both
of these characters are quite fond of Harry (Sirius more than Harry),
and both are favorite characters (Sirius possibly being more a
favorite). I don't feel so confident about Sirius and Lupin though. I've
considered Dobby...he's not a fav of mine, but he loves Harry and will
do anything for Master Harry. And I suspect he's well liked among the
reading public. So it could be him.  I do think it will be a main
character though...one that has more presence than a Harry worshipper.
