Who SHOULD Die in OoP?

We've talked a lot about which characters we predict will die in 
OoP.  We've formed support groups for characters we'd hate to see die 
(I recall groups for Lockhart, Black, Lupin, Percy, and there might 
be others).

However, I don't recall seeing any discussion of characters we would 
like to have die in OoP.  (Yes, this sounds a little morbid, but it 
isn't really.)  In other words, what important HP character would die 
if you were writing OoP, and why?  If it is a character you find a 
bit annoying and would like to eliminate for that reason, fine.  If 
there is a character whose death you think would be especially 
compelling and make OoP memorable, great.  If there is a character 
whose death would allow other characters to change or grow in an 
interesting way, super.  

Are there any theories out there about which death would 
really "enhance" OoP?
