Book 6 death/ War mode/ Another "husband's theory"

Having seen a couple other HPFGU members mention their "dear 
husband's" theories, I had to pass along my own's recent 
pronouncement, spurred by the media hype of a Book 6 death.  It is 
apparently, based on the war movie model (a la John Wayne WWII), a 
genre I'm not much into myself, but I thought it might be an 
interesting addition to the discussions,(if only to chuckle).  
Anyway, it goes as follows:

  The next major death will be McGonagall.

The characters and their model counterparts:
Dumbledore=battle-tested general/colonel, loved by his troops, but 
somewhat remote
McGonagall= strict sergeant that distills order in his/her troops, 
keeps them together as a unit
Snape= whinging lieutenant that may or may not be passing secrets to 
the Nazis/enemy.

So the theory goes, McGonagall dies at the end of 6, leaving the 
world looking bleak and disorganized.  Kids (troops) must begin take 
control of their own destiny until mid Book 7 when Dumbledore dies 
(from a plot of Malfoy and Voldemort) and Snape and Harry must in 
the end must work together to defeat VOldemort.  Various sidekicks 
may also buy it along the way.
Snape ascends to take over leadership of Hogwarts. 

So whad do you think?  Too much wine and too many bad movies? I 
personally think Snape could only be redeemed through death /self-
sacrifice, but maybe that's a little harsh....
