> Predictions (0-10 points each): 

There will be a fight over Sirius Black's estate.  It will provide
Draco with one more grievance against Harry.

Ron and/or Harry will be coerced into taking Divination with Firenze.
 (He must have been hired for some other reason than to annoy Umbridge) 

Hermione's parents will object to her returning to Hogwarts.  They
will be persuaded to allow her back anyways.

The injuries Ron received from the brains will be important.

It will be revealed that Neville was the victim of a botched Obliviate
Charm, probably in a misguided attempt to erase the trauma of the
attack on his parents.  As he overcomes it, he will become a much
better student (We're already seeing signs that his memory is
improving--he never lost Trevor this year.)  The new wand will help, too.
