And now I will take a turn.

I am going to say Godric's Holow, althoug someone else suggested 
James and Lily's graves, and I think that's an interesting idea.

I bet it will be Arabella Figg, but I'd love it if it were Molly 
Weasley.

I think the death in OoP may be Hagrid, and man, I hate that.

I think so.  I hope so.  Yes, I think he still will.  But I bet he 
won't by the end of book six.

Here's something that popped into my head - I think Fudge will die 
and Lucius Malfoy will replace him.

I think we will continue to see Neville change.  Just as in PoA, 
there were hints that Ron and Hermione had some romantic feelings 
going on, by GoF, it was much more evident.  That's how I think it 
will work with Neville, with OoP being much more evident that GoF, 
but not making everything completely clear.

No, not yet.  But wouldn't it be great?  Perhaps his name will be 
cleared, or attempted to be, in some sort of big MoM decision that 
could be part of the climax of the book.  Just thinking...

I bet not, not in this book.  But I'm sure other evil people will be 
around.  Perhaps he will somehow come into contact with Voldemort 
through something else (someone controlled by Voldemort, some 
situation arranged and controlled by Voldemort, etc)

Marauder's Map (thought maybe Harry will not have it back in his 
posession), maybe foe glass and secrecy sensor, definitely pensieve.

Yes.

Hmm.  It'd be nice if it was Ron.  That just doesn't feel quite right 
to me, though.  Hmm.  Everyone else seems LESS right than Ron, 
though.  Sigh.  I don't know.

Harry.  I think so, anyway.  Either Harry or Angelina.

No, I'd like to think we're done with animagi for awhile (perhaps the

a later book)

I like others' view of him as someone who seems nutty, but is really

I'm sure he'll use it importantly at some point, but I'm going to say 
not in book five.

Thanks for the survey, guys!  It was fun!
