What depressing thoughts!  I know that JKR specifically said that 
Remus would be back in Book 5, and did not say we'd see him after 
that.  Is that a clue? I'm hoping he survives, but I too can see him 
as a potential casualty.  I think that as the series progresses, we 
will lose characters who are of increasing importance emotionally to 
Harry. My bet for casualty candidate in Book 5 is a non-Ron Weasley.  
Harry likes all the Weasleys, so he would be affected by any of them 
dying.  

I think Sirius is also a casualty candidate, but I doubt JKR will 
kill him off just yet - he and Harry have the beginnings of a parent-
child relationship and I just don't see this relationship being cut 
off too soon.
