This is for the people who think that time travel will happen again...
Dumbledore seems to know more than he should at times throughout the 
series. I do not think that he is a seer, but what if he knows 
certain events because he has lived through them already. (I know 
that at times he seems to make mistakes and he admits to those 
mistakes.) But, lets say that future events from book 6 and 7 have 
already taken place--and it ends badly for the OOTP.  There are many 
causualties on both sides. At least one of the Weasley children 
survives (Ron Weasley?). Ron has lost most of his family and perhaps 
Harry as well. Dumbledore then hands Ron the time travel hour glass 
and tells him to go way back in time to change certain events. 
(Dumbledore tells Ron a secret he has never told anyone.)  Ron goes 
way back in time, goes to Hogwarts school as a student again, but his 
name is now Dumbledore (DD did have red hair once right?). He could 
even go farther back than that if he is also Nicolas Flamel since he 
could live for quite some time. (Flamel has a wife right? Could it be 
MaGonagall--aka Hermione?) It would be funny if MaGonagall gave 
Hermione the hour glass in the 3rd book to later prepare her for real 
time travel. (Rowling even turns Hermione as a cat in the series--a 
clue that she is MaGonagall!--this idea could only work if the kids 
learn how to become animagi in book 6 or 7 (just like James Potter's 
crew did). Ron grows up (and watches events unfold, trying all the 
while to alter certain events along the way.  Since he is changing 
history certain events will unfold the way they originally did while 
other events will change the historical timeline. (I hate movies and 
books about time travel so I'm giving this idea my best shot.) Many 
people believe that Dumbledore is playing puppet master with the kids-
-and he may.

Luna is a true Seer and knows what Ron will become, hence: "Weasley 
is our King!"  

Dumbledore believes that Snape is loyal and maybe he really knows 
this. (But DD may change something in the timeline inadvertantly 
losing Snape's loyalty--DD may be surprised in the end by Snape.) 

Ron also has a habit in the series to joke around and say things that 
actually happen later on. Could this be a clue from Rowling about 
Ron's identity?  

I'm too tired to think anymore,
