I am in the stands cheering, "DIE VERNON, DIE!"

Actually it is not /that/ harsh, but he *is* an easy Target, not 
having any of the "Protected Blood" that keeps the Dark Lord at bay 
(unless he is somehow related in that "Deliverance" kind of way.) For 
the sixth book, I don't think any other major character would die... 
they all have a last stand to mount... but Vernon...

When I heard the "Begenning of the deaths" statement from JKR, I 
immediatley put Vernon on that list. People talk about Sirius not 
being needed anymore for the plot-- well that certainly puts Vernon 
up there. And there have also been posts about the next death needing 
to hit Harry where it hurts-- I think Vernon might not be a sad sight 
to leave, but it will definatley make Harry stand up and take notice. 

...Unless he turns out to be Dumbledore in disguise, I think he will 
bite it-- something that goes back to showing Harry how he is not 
safe, and that as the DL grows in power, so is the inescapeable fate 
that Harry must come out and meet him-- not simply hide from him on 
Pivet drive.
