I would also like a prequel, but I would be more interested in Tom Riddle's/Hagrid's/Mrytle's days at Hogwarts or The Mauraders and Lily, even though their story would be bittersweet since we know that they die right before SS starts.  

The more I think about it, the more I like your idea of the huge eighth book- maybe instead of being a fluid story, it could be shorter stories about Hogwarts through the ages.  There could be stories about the Founders, Riddle, James and Lily, etc.  I for one would like to actually hear the story about the time that Snape almost got killed.  And I'd like to know more about Hagrid at Hogwarts.  We get snippets of stories, but it would be nice to have longer stories (but not THAT long).
