The more I think about it the more I feel certain that one of the Trio will 
die.  And I think it will be Hermione or Ron. 

Granted we have no idea what will happen in the remaining books but so far I 
can think of 2 instances when Harry, despite his anger, has been unable to 
kill (when he believed Sirius was guilty) or to allow another to be killed 
(stopping Remus and Sirius a from killing Pettigrew ) when he stopped Peter 
from being killed).  I think in order for him to be pushed to actually 
killing someone (even Voldemort) he will have to be experiencing a fair 
amount of rage. . The only way that I can see that happening is one of his 
best friends is killed.  

I can also see Harry and/or Hermione leaving the wizarding world after the 
war (providing of course they survive).  

Melissa (who dosen't think that all of the Weasley brothers will be dead at 
the end of  Book 7 but expects to lose a couple at least)
