St. Mungos Center for Magical Maladies.

Nope.

I think JKR said it would be a woman, so I'll play the odds and say 
Arabella Figg.

Hagrid is the beloved character who dies.  Karkarov and Bagman will 
also die.

Lupin, Sirius, Moody, Bagman

No.  Dumbledore will be sacked for telling the students V returned 
and for having Arthur Weasley spread the word at MoM.  He was 
suspended for far less in CoS.

Yes.  (He'd better watch his back, though, because Lucius Malfoy is a 
threat).

I'll skip this one.

> 9.  At the end of OoF, will Sirius have cleared his name?

No, not yet.

> 10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?

Going out on a limb here and saying No.

Marauder's Map, nifflers, portkeys, sneakoscope, foe glass, secrecy 
sensor.

Yes.  Keeper will be Ginny Weasley (she must learn a thing or two 
about Quiddich having all of those brothers).  Captain will be Katie 
Bell (Maybe JKR has been stung by the criticism that women don't have 
enough to do in HP).

> 13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus?  Who?

Nope.

> 14.  Who is Mundungus Fletcher?

OK.  I'm going WAY out on a limb here.  I think Mundungus Fletcher 
has something to do with St. Mungos and is a doctor there or 
something.  Madam Hooch can't be the only medical professional in the 
wizard world.

> 15.  Will Wormtail use his silver hand in an important way?

Not yet.
