I think:

      This actually leads right into what I've been thinking about or 
 prediciting about book five.  I'm not particulary worried as much 
 about what's going to happen at Hogwarts because after how GoF 
 ended.  I believe that the kids are relatively save at Hogwarts  
compared to how the rest of the muggle-borns are at home. I 
 don't believe LV will wait until the school year begins again to 
 strike again.  For some reson I believe that the real action will 
 start in book five in the summer. I predict that LV and the Death 
 Eaters, especially Mr Malfoy, Mr Crabbe, and Mr Goyle will start 
 attacts again against muggles but instead not against just regular 
 muggles on the streets, they will attack the parents of muggle born 
 students at Hogwarts.  

     The MOMs rules against magic in the summer has always seems to 
be more of a red herring in the book.- Why was it there and always 
emphasized unless it was going to have more importance? It was never 
really held against Harry in PoA when you thought he would get in 
trouble.  It's kind of like the repeated use of the "no apperating on 
Hogwart's grounds", it has to show up in a later book  because it 
keeps getting repeated so much.  I figure the summer would be a great 
time to attack muggle born parents because the students afraid of 
being brought up by the MoM would sit by and not know what to do.

   I haven't quite figured out what LV and Co. would do with the 
 muggle born parents.  Maybe put them ( the parent's)  and even the 
students under the Imperio curse? Maybe Moody teaching them (the 
fourth year students ) to fight the curse on GoA will backfire him 
later on.

    I've always predicted that Trelawney's first prediction was that 
 James Potter's son would unite the muggles and the wizarding world.  
I figure that it had to be something so threatening to LV that would 
cause LV to attempt to try and kill a 1 year old baby.  Knowing LV's 
contempt for muggle-borns I can see attacking their parent's at their 
houses as a next step since is CoS he failed at attacking them at the 
safety of Hogwarts.

     As a newcomer to this board I know you have probably discussed 
 Trelawney's prediction before but after the Twin's and the trio's 
 attack of Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle on the train I'm sure that their 
 parents,the wonderful, forgiving citizens that they are,(LOL) are 
 not just going to let it go until fall and leave it at that.
