It's not beyond possibility that Dumbledore could "lean" on Snape to 
accept Harry into Advanced Potions.  Another one of those cosy little 
staff development chats... I bet Snape's employee file has it's own 
cabinet.  I think Harry will get an "E" (surely an "E" is the mark 
even if you do better than rubbish when you were expected to do very 
badly - just a stray thought) and that may just allow Snape to 
grudgingly let him in.  Hermione will be there through merit.  
Personally - I'd like Neville to be the future Auror - following his 
Dad.  I can't see him getting in to the NEWT potions class though - I 
think with Neville it really would be a case of "Over my dead body".  
Come to think of it, I can't hardly imagine Neville wanting to be in 
that class either.  

It'll be interesting to see just what JKR does with this one.  
Obviously we are going to see Snape still teaching the trio somehow 
and probably Neville and I'm not prepared yet to say - yeah, the way 
round that is for him to teach DADA.  Mind you, that would be a nice 
scene if they all showed up for NEWT DADA not knowing it was him and 
there he is, their very own favourite teacher, smiling nastily from 
behind the desk.

Getting impatient to know already.
