Yes, of course. He'll die in the last book, when the story is too 
focused on the battle and no one cares about Minerva becoming the 
Headmistress. I'm 90% sure that good old Albus will leave the stage 
before the others.

No, Black is going to make it through. I've seen some people point 
out that he might be killed off, if not for the fun of it, then for 
the anger it would raise in Harry. Anger enough to defeat the Dark 
Lord.

I hope one Weasley will die, but somehow I see them all surviving and 
continuing their life as a happy family.

Yes, you're right . The probability is high, too high. It's probably 
too obvious for JKR to deal with, that Snape would get to pay with 
his life for being a double agent. 
If Snape is to die, it would be to save someone, if JKR is following 
the Redemtion Pattern. If this is the case, I see him get prettily 
killed off a few chapters from the end, saving Harry and then have 
him not to mourn but to consider the thought "Maybe Snape was a Human 
Being after all..." Though, I see him survive, saving someone's life 
and then being his sarcastic self anyway. Wouldn't it be Snapeish 
with a dialouge like this:
"Thanks, Professor Snape."

"250 points from Gryffindor for risking your foolish life like that!"

tee hee;)
