bboyminn:

I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to but I'll put it out
there anyway.

A while ago, JKR said this will be Harry's shortest stay at the
Dursley's. That lead to speculation as to why, which in turn lead to
speculation that Harry would be in trouble again, perhaps for doing
magic or whatever, and would have to be pulled out of the Dursleys
just as he was in the most recent book.

Later JKR was asked if Harry will have to face the Wizard's Court
again, or if Harry would leave the Dursley's because he was in trouble
(don't remember the exact question). In response to this question, JKR
said NO, Harry will leave the Dursley's under more pleasant circumstances.

It could be that rumors you heard, or whatever it was that prompted
this question, was related to this speculation about why Harry would
leave the Dursley's so soon.

>From a more general perspective, I think it's safe to say that Harry
will do something wrong and get into trouble in each of the remaining
books, and very likely more than once in each book. 

I also foresee and encounter between Harry and Snape very similar to
that which you described, only in my version, the next time Harry is
captured by Voldemort, Snape will be there with Voldemort and will
have to pretend to be a Death Eater to maintain his role as a Spy. I
can even envision Snape having to use the Pain Curse on Harry in order
to prove his loyalty to Voldemort. 

There are several variations of this, but in the end, Snape rescues
Harry and Friends, and once and for all, proves where his true
loyalties lie. Also, in some variations, Snape heroically scarifices
himself to save Harry and/or friends.

Just a thought.
