Bonny:

I don't think that Dumbledore and McGonagall are married, simply 
because she always seems to refer to him by his last name. If they 
were married, you would think she would call him Albus... Also, at 
the very beginning of the series, Dumbledore did not tell her what 
was up - she appeared at Privet Drive without having contacted him 
previously (which makes me wonder, how did she know that was what he 
was going to do? Very intuitive) and doesn't seem to know anything 
but rumours. Again, if they were married, I think she would be in his 
confidances.

I agree with you about her becoming a more prominant character in the 
future books, and that suits me just fine - I am a big McGonagall 
fan! I don't, however, agree with you that she will die with 
Dumbledore, fighting the Death Eaters. I think that she will survive 
the series and become Headmistress. There is simply no-one else for 
the job! And, like Harry says in OoTP, she is always there, 
intractable and strict, but still always there - and when she's not, 
her absence is felt, which is more than we can say for Dumbledore 
excepting when we see him leave.
