Lets take a look at the history of the adult characters in Hogwarts 
and see if there is some forboding there for our present trio of 
H/HR/R plus Neville.

Sirius- Twelve years in Azkaban for a crime he did not commit, now a 
fleeing fugitive.
Lupin-Grew up to be an unemployed drifter who blew his one shot at 
gainful employment by not confiding in D about the animagus abilities 
of his school friends, and by not taking his anti-werewolf potion on 
time.
Petegrew- need I say more....
James- Killed in action in the war against Voldy.

Now we have a new foursome, two of which have already suffered 
horrors as a result of the war with Voldy:

Harry-Orphan, raised by abusive relatives, still being hunted down by 
Voldy.
Ron- Poverty stricken as a result of his father's lack of success at 
the MOM because of his fondness for all things Muggle.Constantly 
struggling with his ego for his own sense of individuality in his own 
family.
Hermione- Over-acheiver and perfectionist, her worst fear is to fail 
at anything.
Neville- Traumatized by what was done to his parents at the hands of 
the deatheaters. Possible psychological block regarding his magical 
abilities out of fear. Not to mention the effects on his personality 
by being raised by an overbearing grandmother. 

Based on the history of the four adult characters and the outcomes 
they suffered as a result of the war with Voldy, what will become of 
the new four warriors-in-training? One of them will be the one to 
surely die, if history repeats itself. It doesn't look like a happy 
ending for any of them, but since JKR is ending the series here, at 
least maybe we will find closure.
