I've only just been able to access the newly updated version of JKR's 
site, so I'm really behind and apologise if this has already been 
discussed.  I was just looking at the debate on who would die based on 
her comments in the rumours section.  But the thing that really struck 
me when reading the new stuff was what she put about Flitwick.  She 
says:

"...Flitwick's genetic composition has been relegated to the very back 
of my mind over the *six* novels in which he features..." (emphasis 
mine)


Six books?  He's been in them all so far, so that suggests to me that 
he'll be dead by the end of HBP.  Maybe that indicates some kind of 
attack on Hogwarts, in which other teachers (including DD) die.  That 
could be what she's getting at in her rather ominous 'some people won't 
like this' message.
