ME:
DADA: E  (the extra point for the patronus)
Care of magical creatures: O
Potions: O
Charms: E
Herbology: O
Transfiguration: O
Astronomy: A
Divination: A
History of Magic: A
**Based on the scale I culled from canon:
E - Exceeds epectations
O - Outstanding
A - Acceptable
P - Poor
D - Dreadful
T- Troll?
If anyone has a better interpretation of the scale with canon to back 
it up, please post.  (I sometimes wish the WW wasn't so far off from 
RL.  A scale of A-F would have been more easily understood.)

Me:
I disagree about Fudge, he is needed as a figurehead and to keep 
Arthur free.  Maybe Arthur will earn the Minister position after 
Voldemort is finally defeated, then stick Percy in Misuse of Muggle 
Artifacts.

I think Dumbledore will finally give Snape the job of DADA in book 6 
thereby sealing his fate to die in book 6.  Since Snape is no longer 
potions master, the new potions master will accept Harry in NEWT.  
Snape will also take Harry in DADA NEWT since Harry will earn an E.

I believe Dumbledore will die prior to Harry's meeting with LV in book 
7 because of prophecy that says they will face each other alone. 
(Harry will inherit Fawkes and leadership of Order of Phoenix upon 
DD's death.  This will put Hedwig in a snit.)

I also agree one of the elder Weasley boys will die, from 
Molly/Boggart's premonitions.  If Bill, this will draw Fleur and other 
Beauxbatons into the conflict for Harry's side.

Me:
Harry - Auror with DADA job in the future, then headmaster
Ron - Become Arthur's personal assistant to Minister when Arthur gains 
Minister position.
Hermione - Unspeakable researcher for Mysteries
Neville - Herbologist/Potions Master when Harry gets Headmaster 
postion

Me:
Dumbledore is too honorable to keep being an animagus a secret.  I 
think the wasp is just a wasp.

James was an Auror-in-training.  Lily worked in Muggle Relations for 
MoM.

I like that interpretation of the prophecy.  It has a nice twist that 
is so like JKR.  With Pettigrew's obligation to Harry. I imagine we'll 
see him interfere somehow with the final showdown between HP and LV.

The matter of Sirius will be cleared by the presence of Pettigrew and 
subsequent interrogation/confession of being the Potter secret keeper. 
 Sirius' death will be authenticated by witness testimony despite the 
absence of a body.  Harry will inherit from Sirius the entire Black 
fortune and estate.  He will try to mend fences with the Malfoys by 
giving Narcissa Malfoy some of the family heirlooms including the 
tapestry and the portrait of Mother Black.  She will accept them but 
still not forgive Harry for getting her husband thrown in jail.  
Kreacher will run off to Narcissa or Bellatrix as the last remaining 
evil members of the family before the servant bond can be transferred 
to Harry.  This will cause great problems for the Order as most of 
their secrets are revealed to the other side and the Black house will 
no longer be safe for the Order.  DD will still keep the location a 
secret to keep Harry safe.  Question for all of you out there.  If a 
secret keeper dies, what happens to the Fidelius charm?  Does the 
secret remain in effect indefinitely or does the spell end?
