Think on This......

Ok, here I go.....

1.) Snape- need I say more?

2.) Hagrid- He did have a reason to go see the giants than just 
fail.  Some of them will come, if only a small minority, but enough 
to reduce the gain of the rest of the giants for LV.  Also, there is 
always the POSSIBILITY of Hagrid being the HBP..... but who 
knows besides JKR?

3. Monsters- Not just any ol' monsters, but those that have a 
name.  Like Fluffy, Aragog and Masog are the few I can 
remember right now.  I think these guys will come back, that the 
next books, but not have major roles, just to also battle the 
giants.  Norbert, and to a lesser degree Grawp, had too small of 
a role to be in the books and take up whole chapters.  Although 
Fluffy, Aragog, Masog and Grawp all had their own essential 
parts to their own books, Norbert....... did what exactly?  They all 
got detention and saw the unicorn i suppose (I am thinking as I 
write), but I figure ONE of them will have a part to play.  Oh, and 
Fawkes should fit in this category too, but he doesn't really seem 
to be a MONSTER to me, but a 'Fanstatic Beast.'

And I can't forget Lupin.... but I believe his part will be obvious 
when it comes, particularly since JKR said his role would be 
larger.  Therefore, I don't think he should really get one of the 
three.
