This is bolstered by the blatant Gandalf-izing of Dumbledore at the 
end of GoF, when Harry sees him REALLY ticked off.

I think maybe Dumbledore doesn't survive the big showdown, but I'm 
not sure he dies in the next book.

I think Hagrid is the one character that shouldn't be buying green 
bananas.

Here are those I think die, or are Dementorized, by the end of it:

* Hagrid
* At least two of the nine Weasleys
* Fudge
* Narcissa Malfoy
* A couple members of the "old crowd" and definitely either Pupin or 
Sirius
* Neville
* maybe Harry himself
