I had to renumber a few (I assume some were written at the same time 
and hence had the same numbers)
Now, before I add my predictions, I just have to say that we must be 
getting desparate prior to book 5 - I began a thread almost identical 
to this a few months back and it was bumped to the OT list by an elf 
due to the "amount of one line posts it could have generated". So I 
am happy to see our desparation has softened the elves to let this 
kind of mania continue until Saturday :-)

So, on to my predictions -

47. McGonagall will be disgusted at someone's behaviour.
48. Snape will persecute Neville.
49. Parvati will still adore Professor Trelawney.
50. Professor Trelawney will continue to be vague.
51. Binns will send someone to sleep.
52. Even the dumbest students (read Crabbe and Goyle) will somehow 
manage to pass their exams.
53. Dumbledore's answers will raise more questions.
54. In addition to point 45, no matter how many questions are 
answered in book 5, there will be at least as many new questions that 
wont be answered till book 6.
55. We will have read at least one character all wrong (in the 
Scabbers/Sirius/Quirrell vein)
56. Krum will be grumpy
57. Fleur will still make the male students swoon
58. Harry will leave Privett Drive in some kind of debacle
