I too expect to see book six within the next two years.  From some 
of the recent interviews JKR's given, I believe she did not start 
writing OotP immediately after finishing GoF.  She took some time 
off to write some other things (the Beasts and Quidditch books and 
non HP stuff.)  However, she has mentioned that she's already 
started writing book six, and that it probably won't be as long as 
book 5.  

We shall see.
