I also believe some of the Muggles and students we've come to know will bite
the dust:  Uncle Dursley in particular strikes me as a likely candidate for
the long line of death or torture possibilities for plot tension in the next
2 books. For example, Percy's death would reveal what exactly he's been
doing:  bad judgement, mental hijacking, or spy for the Order?   I think
characters we do like as well as characters we don't will be eliminated, and
this includes a few students in the wrong place at the wrong time, too.
With this being the next to the last book, I'm inclined to believe JRK will
select a wide variety of people to show how war affects everyone, regardless
of station, creed, or culture;  these folks will also exemplify the
"choices" concept JKR embraces from the beginning of the septology in PS/SS.
