I didn't predict it, but I ended up seeing who it was before I finished the book. I know that's terrible, but here's why: I looked at the chapter headings in the table of contents and saw the chapter that said "The Only One He Ever Feared" and was terrified it might be Dumbledore that died. I flipped towards the back to make sure he was still alive and saw the line where Dumbledore told Harry, "It's my fault that Sirius died." I was bummed, but relieved it wasn't Dumbledore, Ron, or Hermione.

When I actually got to the part of the death, I was surprised at how upset I was by it, since I already knew who it was.

However, I can handle just about anyone dying except HRH, or Dumbledore. Hagrid would be a bit rough, but I suspect I could get through it. Same with Lupin. Neville's touched a soft spot in me, so he better be around until the end.
