Let It Be Known

First, this is my first post, so forgive the interruption
and the 
length.

In reading the posts, it occurs to me that we actually know quite a 
bit more than we may realize about books 6&7. So I thought, with less 
than a couple thousand pages left (gasp!), what things do we KNOW must 
happen? Perhaps this could help us to better structure our discussion 
and/or predictions. I'll take a quick stab as a start, but please do 
add. Remember, we want events that are a reasonable certainty.
