Jumping on the predictions of who will be eliminated next (somehow I 
feel like this is some weird twist on Agatha Christie's And Then 
There Were None):

My guess is that Ginny's going to get the axe in the next book or 
two.  Did anyone else notice that the boggart at Grimmauld Place 
never appeared as Ginny, but did appear as all the male Weasleys and 
Harry?  Plus, we've got Mrs. Weasley's fear that not all the 
Weasleys are going to survive the next war.  And Ginny seems to be 
quite deceptive to her family, or at least able to lie and keep 
secrets from them.  (Neither the twins nor Ron knew that Ginny snuck 
off with their broomsticks; Ginny lies without flinching when 
telling Molly that Crookshanks was playing with dungbombs and again 
when lying to students while Harry and Hermione tried to contact 
Sirius at Grimmmauld Place.)  And Arthur talks about finding the 
Dark Mark hovering over a home, telling those that live there 
someone is dead.  My new crack-brained theory is that Ginny is going 
to sneak off somewhere, lie to her parents as to where, and get 
offed.  Or the Weasleys might leave Ginny behind at the Burrow in an 
attempt to protect her while the rest of the family goes to do work 
for the Order or something, and come home to find the Dark Mark 
hovering overhead.  I think a Weasley is almost guaranteed to go 
(not that I like it), and the most likely canidates are either Ginny 
or Ron.  Possibly Percy.  

All the muggle born students at Hogwarts, and in the wizarding world 
at large, are at risk; Draco and all the death eaters' kids at 
Hogwarts know who they are.  Some of the ones we know about are 
Hermione, Lavendar, Dean, Penelope Clearwater, Justin Flinch 
Fletchley, the Creevey brothers, and Ted Tonks.  (I'm sure I'm 
missing some.)  Then the half-bloods are at risk, too: Harry (but 
he's a target anyway), Tonks, and Seamus.  Anyone of them could get 
it just because of their heritage.

I think Lupin will survive the series, just one of those feelings.  
Pettigrew's going to get it.  (I hope so anyway; Harry saved 
Pettigrew's life.  Pettigrew then goes and restores Voldemort, which 
causes a series of events that lead to Sirius' death.  Pettigrew 
needs to get what's coming to him.  My mean spirited side hopes that 
Crookshanks eats him while Pettigrew is a rat.)  Dumbledore, maybe, 
but probably from old age.  Although Professor Marchbanks tested 
Dumbledore for his transfiguration NEWTS, and she's alive and 
kicking.
