Any thoughts on who might kill Hedwig? I could see Draco doing it as
his mean nasty rotten tricks escalate with the increased confidence he
gains from knowing Voldemort is back.

I see the death of Hedwig as an incredably horrible experience for
Harry. Friends come and go with the mood, and the seasons, but Hedwig
is always there, and while the two of them may have their ups and
downs, Hedwig and Harry are truly bonded together. Hedwig is the one
friend that truly belongs to Harry, and is probably the closest thing
he has to family.

Compound that with Draco being responsible for Hedwigs death and you
have set the scene for Harry and Draco's own private personal and ever
more dangerous war.

Just a thought.
