Too little credit (who will die)

Sorry if I'm not giving enough credit to everyone in the 100+ threads 
regarding the deaths in the upcoming books. The topic has gone from complete 
bloodbath to no bloodbath at all, and I can't really quote anyone, just kind 
of want to put my own say on things.

We don't give J.K. Rowling enough credit when we discuss this topic. Yes I am 
aware that she said that she will be killing off characters that she loves, 
but it might only be a few more. The books are written very lighty, and I 
understand the later books will be darker, but the HP crew is going to be at 
Hogwarts and not too many bad things will happen. Too little wizards in the 
WW. Can't kill them all off.

I can't understand why Karkaroff left if Hogwarts is the safest place. Snape 
is safe there. Voldermort is scared to attack anyone there, so why not just 
stay there and seek asylum like Snape?

Snape, we have grown to hate, only cause he and Harry share some sort of 
stryfe deeper than just school stuff. As we see, IMO Snape actualy cares 
about Harry. I believe that treating him like a hero, only makes him 
depressed. We all know that sometimes when we are depressed, being upset will 
take your mind off of whats bothering you. Voldermort will come after him, 
but I think hes a good character (aside from the fact that I think I could 
play an 18 year old Snape in the movie). Everyone seems to think that he 
wants to be the DADA teacher, but I don't see why he would want that. He 
seems fine as potion master.

Hagrid, Ginny, the Creevy brothers, and the rest of the HP fan, we know one 
of them will die, or perhaps J.K. Rowling will pull a Star Trek, where a 
completely irrelevent person will die everytime something happens, which will 
not affect the main characters.

Dumbledore is good. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Whether or 
not he dies is irrelevent. He will always be with Harry in mind and spirit. 
Most characters like that do die for the good of the cause.

Harry, Hermoine, and Ron will not die. As well, there is no reason for any of 
the Weasley's to die, and you need both twins.

If Harry and Sirius are both alive at the end of the 7th book, then they will 
end up together. Therefore, you can't kill them.

As for the speculations of either Sirius being caught or Sirius being 
cleared, well, the Ministry is completely worthless now. Half the people in 
the Ministry are bad, the other half will go with Dumbledore, which leaves no 
halves for the people that will back Crouch. So I think within the next book 
the Ministry will collapse. Perhaps we will find out what the Department of 
Mystery does. As well, no one loves a bad ending. Harry has somewhere to go 
and Sirius is going all that he can. Can't kill Harry. Can't get rid of 
Harry's last relative.

Honestly, I would have thuoght there would be more death eaters. There were 
around 10ish, a little more, a few dead, a few missing. Doesn't seem much 
like a very interesting crowd. You have Crabbe and Goyle who seem to have 
screwed things up, Macnair who is old and works for the ministry, Avery who 
sounds rather weird IMO, Malfoy who was bested by his own house elf. That 
leaves the ones on Azkaban who will be released, and Voldermort himself, and 
Wormtail who is worthless since he will of couse spare Harry or do something 
to protect him, something stupid like that.

The things to come that are most predictable will happen only cause you think 
they won't. And that's all I have to say about that.
