OOP: Read 'em and weep (who's dying?) Was: Thoughts on the OOTP

Don't forget Bellatrix Lestrange...100% odds she's gonna get what's 
coming to her.  and I'd venture 90% that it'll be at the hands of 
Neville Longbottom.  I don't think the odds of Neville dying are as 
high as I thought they'd be while reading OoP.

Odds that McGonnagal is going to die...inversely proportional to 
Dumbledore's...she'll probably take over for him once he's gone.

Pettigrew was mentioned because he informed the DEs that Sirius was 
an Animagus (that's why Malfoy recognized him on the platform 9 
3/4).  If Snape's really doing undercover work for the OP on the DE, 
then he'd defininitely know that Sirius was innocent b/c he'd have 
met Pettigrew.
