   Hem Hem. Okay, I know that each one of my theories on book 5 were wrong. Like Mrs. Figg being the female DADA professor. That, was obvious. And from my years of reading HP, I've learned a few things about JKR writing style and making theories while waiting for the next book. The number one rule to making theories for HP is to not have your theories to be obvoius. 

  So, with that theory above, I can tell that it isn't so obvious to the readers, which proves that it could happen. The obvious thing that could happen is that: 

    All throughout the wizard world, people were rejoicing for the fall of Voldemort and Harry Potter still being alive! But in the Hogwarts' hospital wing, Harry is recuperating under the nurse's eye. Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, and Ginny, are all fine too.

So, given the theorie above, it is anything but ordinary and obvious. It might just happen!
