canon that hint their deaths in future books (if you see hints about
other characters, add them in!). I'll put the first one in that I
find:

can teach you to stopper death; two of the potions he asks Harry about
that Harry can't identify are meant to prevent death)

Though she's not a main character:

Hedwig -- 
Foreshadowing: "Just as he limped past the window, Hedwig soared 
through it with a soft rustle of wings like a small ghost." 

Of course you need a motive for killing her off: "In addition to every
other miserable feeling, he now felt guilty that he'd been irritable
with Hedwig; she was the only friend he had at number four, Privet
Drive."

As far as a method goes, I can only imagine another attack on her when
delivering a crucial message...
