My 2 cents:
I suspect either Colin or Dennis Creevey will bite the dust in addition to Dumbledore.  That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I think that the Colin/Dennis death would cause a major personality shift in the surviving brother.  Perhaps leading to a new possibility in terms of a "Pettigrew" for the current generation....Hmmmmmm...

I feel that JKR is slowly preparing us for Dumbledore's death: he is looking older, more gaunt.  Harry is noticing how tired he is...  It's really the only way that the characters can be challenged.  Dumbledore is the only one with powers equal to Voldemort's -- he holds him in check.  The only way to stir things up is for Dumbledore to follow Flamel into that final adventure...

Re: The Harry/Hermione ship...

This ship will never set sail. **Sorry**

Now I don't want to stomp on any H/H shipper toes, but I am firmly in the opposite camp.  I foresee a relationship between Ron and Hermione that goes beyond friendship, to some degree.  It may not happen right away, it may not be forever...but I think it will be.

I'm not sure who Harry will take up with...if anyone.  ((What about all those Christ analogies??  Perhaps he will follow this way...die without a partner...or is there a "Mary" Magdelene character?))  My first instinct was Ginny, but that will depend on how she develops as a character.  Right now she's too much of a "damsel in distress" to be of much interest.  I don't see Cho happening.  Susan Bones (who also lost parents it seems...)?  Actually, I see Harry becoming somewhat disillusioned ("Everyone important to me DIES") before getting serious.  I could be wrong about this, but it seems that his latest contact with Voldemort will have to greatly effect how he handles things from here on out.  Even JKR said that Book 4 would be very pivotal.

I do want to see Harry live.  I want to see him with a big ol' family...I just don't know if that is in the cards -- or the tea leaves!

Me:
Hmmmm...that'd be really cool, though!  Or what about Harry/a Slytherin?  That would rock the boat!

We need OOP!
