Just to be different than everyone, I'm going to suggest that 
Dumbledore will die in Book 6 - in fact I'm almost certain of it.

Think about it.  We need three more climactic moments (one 
each for the next 3 books).  We've been told many times that LV 
never tried to take over Hogwarts during his first reign because 
Dumbledore was too powerful.  We can pretty much assume 
that Book 7 will focus on an attempted coup of Hogwarts, the 
most important social structure of the wizard world.  LV will not 
attempt this until Dumbledore is dead.  So, we need a dead 
Dumbledore by Book 7.  But his death can't be a side note or a 
sub-plot.  It has to be a climactic moment.

So, Dumbledore's death is the climax of Book 6, leaving Harry 
without protection for the first time to save the day in Book 7.

It just makes literary sense.

BTW: We know the death in Book 5 will be a big fan of Harry's.  
My money is on one of the Weasleys.  The Creevey's seem a bit 
too obvious.
