very important character death by starting out with someone we kinda 
knew, then to someone who we like, to someone we love, then to 
someone who we couldn't live without. 

I see either Oliver(older brother figure), 
Percy(older administrative figure), or 
Cho(after H&C had a chance to build up their relationship).

I hope I'm wrong but I feel that Oliver is the most likely choice. 
Oh well, nothing I can do but to worry 'til the book comes out.

I agree with Brittany that it will be someone important in Harry's 
life, but not very important to the story line.  I think it will be 
Hedwig who will die.  She was Harry's first birthday present as a 
wizard, she goes out of her way to make sure he gets birthday 
presents from his friends.  She has been locked up in Harry's room 
with him by the Dursleys.  Hedwig has shared the wizarding world 
with Harry, through the good and the bad.  Harry has worried about 
her when she has been gone longer than he thought she should be and 
he was upset when she was mad with him.  Writing and reading about 
her death would be a terrible experience for anyone.  Especially 
those of us who have lost a beloved pet before.
