me, digger: [Newbie 1st post, Hi all]

My prediction for OOP is similar. (it might have been aired here before, 
apols in advance if so)

Harry does go to see his parents in the land of the dead, but he does it 
while he is still alive. A portal to the land of the dead is in that 
mysterious room we know he has not yet found. (I think that room is 
something like the mirror of erised, it shows you what you desire, like 
Dumbledore's chamber pots)

The Order of the Phoenix is an honour awarded to those individuals who 
manage to travel to the land of the dead while alive, and sucessfully 
return to the land of the living. So Harry will be able to visit his 
parents, but because they are dead, he won't be able to bring them back 
through the door.

I bet that Dumbledore, as a most powerful wizard, can do this. 
Conversly, Voldemort, by being in fear of death, and seeking 
immortality, has never attempted it. If Harry can do this, he will gain 
power and knowledge that V will never have, and this will aid him in the 
fight against Voldemort.
