I think Harry will probably change what classes he takes next year
with an eye to his surviving the next year, so hopefully we will...

Trevor, and Mrs. Norris.

Favorite organization? Hmmm, I'm drawing a bit of a blank. How about
H.I.S.S., the Hug Innocent Slytherins Society?

Well, I think things will come to a head either when he is due to
become a DE or shortly afterwards. I'd look for him to do a Snape on
us, likely with a bit of input from Snape himself.

Gazing into the crystal ball:

I see a black shape flitting in the distance, growing ever closer.
The Grim. I see it touching on people here and there. Hagrid, poor 
man, a Weasley, a Malfoy, and a Dursley. I see betrayal by a lion and
redemption for a snake, and much change and upheaval coming. I see
Cho Chang and Susan Bones, though their involvement is not quite
clar, and ... Voldemort's wand turning into a rubber chicken? But
the ball is clouding, and the vision is becoming uncertain. I can
see no more this night.

Arcum is handed a piece of paper from Professor Trelawney with an 
"A" on it and walks away from his Divination final smiling...

(Yes, this is events up to and including the final chapter, but I 
couldn't resist...)

This could go either way, really. It's really to early to say, and 
could easily be made moot if Ron dies...

Tradition.

With paper money it can lose value easier then coins, since the coins
have intrinsic worth in their materials even if something happens to
devalue the money. Paper is also likely easier to forge magically.
Gold is historically very difficult to create magically, and I'd 
imagine the other metals used are likely also somewhat difficult to 
reproduce.

I likely wouldn't play Quidditch, actually, though I might take to
flying, and almost certainly would get in trouble for enchanting 
computer equipment...

Neville and Draco I think are most radically due to change, though 
everyone will be growing and maturing through the next few books.
I also think Cho Chang will become more multifaceted of a character,
and that we'll find out more about the families that Voldemort
killed, and the students who survied them...

Pickle, garlic, clove, ginger, salt & vinegar, apricot, plum, and

No problem with that. BTW, is anyone keeping track anywhere of whos
been accused of being ever-so-evil so far?
