I personally think it's likely that one from Harry's generaion (and 
with that I mean everybody from Percy to Dennis Creevey) will turn 
out evil. I can't explain why, it's just a feeling I have. However, 
there are a few I have ruled out for myself, and these are:

1. Neville: Because the Pettigrew/ Neville comparison is to obvious 
IMO. I personally always thought Neville and Peter have close to 
nothing in common, but still Harry imagined Peter like Neville, so 
this is the comparison that was made in the books. But if Neville 
turned out Peter 2, it would be the most boring and stupid plot 
devide I could imagine, because it would have been a repeat of what 
already happened. And I don't think JKR would do that, especially, 
because it contradicts the theme of choices.

2. Dennis: I really think he is to young. He would be fourteen in the 
last book, and I can't imagine someone that young joining the Death 
Eaters. Especially not a muggle born. Well, maybe if something 
dreadful happens to Colin, and Harry is somehow responsible, but I 
still doubt it.

3. Hermione: No way.

To be honest, if you ask me for this and this person, I would always 
say: "No, I can't imagine it would be them." I don't even really 
think that Colin is the one, who turns. But I do think, he is the 
least unlikely.
