Havent been here in a while, but I recently posted my 
prognostication for OotP, which includes a juicy tidbit about all 
the other books as well.

Check it out at http://hpprogs.blogspot.com/

Here is the beginning:

We have spoken before about the themes of each of the books. In 
short, Book 1=power, Book 2=identity, 3=emotions, 4=pride. In each 
book, Harry confronts and learns to master the challenges of the 
theme presented. These are all "dark arts," so to speak. If we look 
back, we realize that the professor for that class we all 
love, "Defense Against the Dark Arts" is intimately connected with 
that theme. Just as an illustration, in Book 1, Prof. Quirrell lusts 
after power, to the point where he becomes completely corrupted by 
it. Book 2, Lockhart's thirst for the spotlight consumes his 
identity, causing him to commit grievous acts of memory erasure to 
ensure his celebrity status (and Harry confronts this same aspect of 
his fame). Book 3, Lupin, who is not a bad character, none-the-less 
teaches Harry what incredible will power it takes to control our 
primal emotions and urges, and that sometimes, we cant. And of 
course, in Book 4, Moody/Crouch is the epitome of pride, thirsting 
for his master's approval, and proud of his part in restoring him to 
power.


That is just a quick rundown (more to come in the next 2 weeks!). On 
to book 5.
