All these points are valid, but I think people are forgetting someone...
Wormtail. Even Dumbledore said that there is a bond between them now. You
saw some of wormtail's feelings in GoF when he tried to persuade Volde that
they did not need Potter. I think this makes sense. It redeems wormtail for
turning on the Potters and alleviates the burden of murder from a "good"
character.

I think Doreen has a good point.  A recent thread which asked whether
Harry would wind up being a killer (of Voldemort) or a martyr, or if
someone else would kill Voldy, made me think that maybe there is
another option, and I think Doreen has hit on it.  Except that I
think it is more likely to occur in Book 7 than in Book 5.  But I
think there will be a battle royal, where the good guys (even Snape),
united, defeat the evil ones.  I think Voldy will die but it will not
be any one person who kills him; instead it will be the actions of
the group.  This would fit, I think, with JKRs political
perspective.  This is foreshadowed by the statement that Dumbledore
makes in GoF about forgetting differences and uniting, etc.

Unfortunately, there are casualities in any war and very
unfortunately Dumbledore seems to me to be Most Likely to Perish.  I
am preparing myself for a good cry when it happens; I just love the
barmy old codger.

Of course, this is all pure speculation.  My predictions for what
would happen in GoF were totally wrong.

  "How come the Muggles don't hear the bus?" said Harry.
  "Them!" said Stan contemptuously.  "Don't listen properly, do
they?  Don't look properly either.  Never notice nuffink, they don'."
