This suggests that JKR is thinking of having LV attack
Hogwarts this time. Ooh, that would be fun.
Neri:
I'm sure this was pointed before, but Hogwarts *is* a castle, so it
will be only fitting to have a siege. I assume it will serve nicely
for the climax of Book 6 or even Book 7. The armies of the Dark Side
will be mainly dementors and DEs, but there might be goblins and
giants on both sides. JKR also mentioned in some interview that we
will meet Aragog again. Perhaps even the centaurs will finally decide
to meddle with the wizards wars. Sounds like WB will need some advice
from Peter Jackson on special effects.

A siege would not be needed. There are I believe 8 secret passages
that would let the invaders in - and many are not even guarded....
(Marauder's map clues) ... and also the passage caved in by Gilderoy,
which was referred to later.
Plus the fathers of at least four of the Slytherin students are known
death eaters so they can come to Hogwarts on parent-teachers night
so-to-speak.
