Tonks:

I don't think that Harry is going to be motived by anger. I think he 
is going to do what he is going to do for other reasons.

Harry is going to find out what happened that night at GH. He is 
going to find out about the ancient magic that saved him and how it 
happened. He is going to understand his position in the WW and MW 
and what he must do.  He will not initially want to do it.  He will 
struggle with the idea, but he will eventually embrace it as his 
duty and his free choice.  It will be the Love within him that moves 
him on. Harry will come to the point in his life where he 
understands *who* he is and why he is here.  He will know the 
meaning of his life.  He will mature far beyond his years.  He, with 
DD's help, will plan the next move. 

Many people are going to die.  Probably Snape, Hagrid, maybe McG.  
Muggles may die as well.  I think we will see the war at its height. 
There will be brother against brother, parent against child, it will 
be horrible. Some of the children will die, but I don't think that 
any of the trio will die, yet.  Not yet.  Later, in book 7, but not 
in book 6.  And DD will never die.  Ron will betray Harry at some 
point in book 6 or 7.  Harry will die in book 7.  It will rip our 
hearts out.  We will hate JKR before the end.  But there will be a 
hero's ending and we will remember the lessons all the rest of our 
lives.
