of that theory. What else have we got (other than GoF's constant 
references to how old and tired he looks)?

Bohcoo reply:
O-o-h, how deliciously ghoulish! Well, Trelawney has always predicted 
Harry's pending gruesome death, which I happen to believe.  I don't 
want Harry to die, I just have come to the conclusion that he will, 
near the end of book 7.

(Not that I am a big fan of Trelawney's, I just think too much was 
made of her being an old fraud. I think she manages to nail some of 
the things she goes on about. The funny thing is, she doesn't know 
when she has nailed it. . . So, of course, neither do we.)

Anyway. We have losts of references to Ron biting the early dust as 
well. Even he mentions it several times, the latest mention in OOP 
when he tells Harry he doesn't care if his tea leaves read, "Die, 
Ron, die!"

I think there was a Death List started before OOP came out when we 
all were crazy to find out the death JKR mentioned in interviews. 
Perhaps we could just update that one with canon.

One of the funniest posts I have ever seen on this subject came from 
Pippy right after OOP came out when she was explaining all the 
foreshadowing about Sirius being the one to die, making the statement 
that he all but had the words, "Dead Meat" tatooed on his forehead. 
Funny. So-o-o-o funny. Don't have the post number here but it is 
worth looking up.
