Killing off Characters

I've noticed that a lot of the discussion here, particularly 
recently, revolves around who's going to die and when. I understand 
that some important characters will die, and it will have a great 
impact on the story. It seems to me, though, that JKR has to leave 
most of the characters alive to keep the story going for another 
three years. Maybe I just don't want to see a lot of deaths, but I 
don't think there are going to be nearly as many as a lot of people 
seem to think. I mean, can anybody think of a character that nobody 
has suggested will die at some point? 

On a completely unrelated topic: Somebody mentioned that in the HP 
games they have, the person who's birthday is closest to Harry's goes 
first. I've got to get some of these games! My bday just happens to 
be July 31, so I'd win automatically! :)
