While I do think that there is the possibility of Hagrid dying, I'm 
afraid my thoughts tend to linger more towards someone else.  I also 
realize that as soon as I dare make this suggestion, I am going to 
have an angry mob come and attack me.  I heard from someone(but if 
someone can contradict this, go ahead), that JKR or someone said that 
it would be an 'unlikely fan of Harry's' or someone unexpected who 
would be the unlucky person.  When I read this, combined with one 
other specific point from the book, my mind travels to one 
person:Snape.

Now, as I'm ducking the rotten produce all the Snape lovers must be 
throwing at me right now, let me defend myself.  First of all, it's 
pretty obvious that he is the DE that Voldemort talks about 
eliminating in the Graveyard scene.  Beyond that, if the 'unlikely 
fan' is true, Snape seems to be the one character who fits that 
description.  To me, despite his demeaner, some part of him can't 
help but like, or at least want to protect, Harry.
