There are some things we have seen mentioned or used in small ways, that I
think will be big plot devises used in the next two books.

1. Veritaserum-   We've seen this in OotP, when Harry wouldn't drink it and
in GoF with Fake Moody.  What we haven't seen is it used in a way that does
damage to the "good guys".  Someone making Tonks, Mrs. Weasley, Ron, or
Harry spill their guts.  I can't believe JKR invented this powerful potion
not to eventually use it like this.

2.  Imperius curse-   We've heard about this since the first book.  It was
used slightly in OotP, but I feel it's the same as my example above.  Why
have this be one of  three unforgivable curses if it isn't going to be used
in a big way.  My bet is Ron being made to do some pretty despicable things,
but it could be anyone.  Maybe even Harry will be used in this way.  That
way we would get a first person account of what it feels like to fall under
this curse.  I know he threw it off with Fake Moody, but what if Voldemrt
cast it himself?

3.Lupin being a werewolf-  Hopefully Moony will be able to use this in a
good way for once in his life.  It's such a big thing, I can't believe we'll
never see him turn into a werewolf again.  I see him as being a hero
eventually.

4.  Colin's pictures-  Seems like a small thing, but I've always been
suspicious of him taking all those pictures.  I know it was so he was
annoying to Harry so everyone would think he had him petrified, but I think
there's more to it.  I think he's going to capture something important one
of these days, or maybe he already has, and doesn't even know it.  Maybe
he'll catch Snape talking to someone he shouldn't be talking to.

These are all just wild speculations.  We all have them, and I'd love to
hear some of yours.  Feel free to rip mine to shreds.
