Book 6 Predictions

Hey Everyone,
I'm starting to feel that familiar impatience I got whilst waiting for OotP, so to help fill the wait for book 6 I thought I'd come up with some predictions. I'm no Cassandra Trelawney so feel free to shoot down my guesses or add your own. Here goes...OotP spoilers mind!
 
#1: Harry fails to get 'Outstanding' in his Potion's OWL, but gets into NEWT Potions anyway thanks to a new, more understanding Potions Master or Mistress (Tonks perhaps? She must be good at Potions seeing as she's an Auror and all).
 
#2: Snape on the other hand is finally given the DADA job, as DD accepts that Snape won't let it "bring out the worst in him", and pupils are v. behind anyway so they need someone highly skilled (I always assumed he would get the job towards the end of the series ever since we were first told he wants it, and especially since Umbridge inspected his class).
 
#3: Harry resumes Occlumency lessons, whether with Snape or DD I'm not sure, but it's more important than ever that Harry learns to block LV from his mind, esp. since that vision of Sirius. Although LV must know Harry mightn't fall for other visions again, we know it's possible for LV to get information through Harry. *If Dumbledore does teach Harry Occlumency, it would be a great opportunity to learn more about DD, who we know surprisingly little about. Which brings me to my next prediction...
 
#4: DD will be killed in the fight against LV after we've found out more about his background. Last time we found out a lot about someones history was with Sirius, and he was killed off <sob>. Maybe the same will happen with DD? That would leave the Order in some trouble for book 7!
 
#5: We will find out about Hogwart's staff's spouses. As JK said, a few of them have had spouses, information which is "sort of restricted", and I'm betting we'll discover that DD had a muggle wife years ago but outlived her. Also, maybe Snape fell for and even married a muggle female, but she was murdered post-Voldemort when Deatheaters were still murdering muggles. Is this part of the story he told DD for him to trust him?
 
#6: Harry discovers the average wizard's lifespan at last.
 
#7: Ron finally kisses Hermione!
 
#8: Deatheaters inevitably breakout of Azkaban and rejoin LV. Lucius Malfoy leads a wave of muggle torture and murder, the beginnings of which Harry hears about on the news at Privet Drive before the new school year (I'm sure I read somewhere JK said muggles would notice more happenings in the next book).
 
#9: This is the last straw for Fudge, and he resigns as MoM before he's sacked for not acknowledging LV's return in the first place. He's surprised when DD refuses to take the job as MoM, but he can't leave Hogwarts as Voldemort would jump at the chance to control the school with DD gone. Instead Arthur Weasley is surprisingly voted in!
 
#10: In the annual end-of-term showdown with LV, Harry comes face to face with Snape (being the spy of course), whom he must trust in order to escape. Harry's Occlumency skills will come in handy here too, so as not to reveal Snape's true loyalty.
 
So there you have it, ten perhaps far-fetched predictions for book 6! Sorry if they've come up before, I haven't had a chance to read all the posts. So what do you think? Any other ideas?
