IMHO I think the "horrible death" will be Ginny Weasley's. I know she 
has been more of a background character, but Rowling may use Book 5 
to flesh out her character before doing away with her a la Cedric 
Diggory. 

With Harry's closeness to the Weasleys her death would always be in 
the forefront of the remaining books, and if he is somehow involved, 
a load of guilt. It may also be the catalyst for Ron to take more of 
an action oriented role and spur him on to perhaps attempt to take on 
Lord Voldemort himself.

Also Rowling stated in an interview that it would be a member of 
Harry's "fan club". The Creevy brothers are not important enough yet 
to cause a great deal of angst if they were killed. They seem more 
likely to turn traitors later on; shades of Wormtail. Ron himself 
states in CS that Colin and Ginny can join up to start a "Harry 
Potter fan club".

I hope it doesn't come to pass but I can see how this could work in 
many ways.
