Predictions

Evil Homer:"My prediction regarding Ron's fate:
In Book 5 or 6, Ron and Hermoine become an item. Harry
and Ginny will also become an item(I am *such* a fan
of the Harry/Ginny scenario. Always go with the
underdog, I say)."

Ron and Hermione are destined by JKR to become an item, albeit 
temporarily. I think it's one of the worst mismatches in literary 
history, but there it is.

At one time I was the "captain" of the Good Ship H/G, swimming 
against the tide. Beware the Draco/Ginny crowd, who send her off to 
an awful fate to get her out of Harry's way. Here is you daily 
affirmation: "Say it loud, I'm corny and I'm proud! We love Her-my-oh-
ninny, but we're gonna root for Ginny!"

Evil Homer:"Then, in Book 7, I think a situation will arise in
which Peter Pettigrew tries to kill Harry, and Ron
will save Harry and die himself(which would be ironic
in a very twisted way, seeing as Pettigrew used to be
Ron's pet...) Harry will then *freak out* and go
through a huge guilt spiral, because:

1. Because he saved Pettigrew in PoA, his best friend
was killed.

2. Ron wasn't only Harry's best friend but his *other*
best friend(Hermoine)'s boyfriend, so he will have to
deal with her grief as well.

3. And on top of *that*, Ron was his girlfriend's
brother, so he will have her grief to deal with too."

Reasonable. You went on to say this would give Harry extra motive to 
get Voldemort, but he's got all the motive he needs already.

Homer:"Also I think Hermoine will live and Harry as well - if
JKR was really going to kill him off, I don't think
she would have ever even *hinted* at it, seeing as
she'd probably assume no one would expect his death.
She'd want it to come out of left field."

I agree Hermione is the safest of the Trio, but I wish I was sure of 
Harry's safety. I've always believed he will pay a high price for his 
heroism. He may not die, but suffer greatly in other ways; but he'll 
suffer. Like Frodo, the world may be saved for others but not for him.
