1. Who will be the most major character to die?
Snape (the adult-cover leads me to think there is something very big 
involving Snape in HBP)

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince?
Snape or the new DADA teacher.

3. What is Lily's big secret?
I don't think there is necessarily a "big secret" about Lily, but I 
think we'll find out that Petunia has been given some kind of magic 
charm to help her keep her house so spotless.  It was most likely 
given as a kind of "payment" for taking Harry in.  I don't believe 
she can do magic herself, but that someone has given her "magic" to 
use.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
The mysterious "old-lion" man, who is possibly a very old friend of 
Dumbledore's.

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
I think Harry will have a developing relationship with Ginny.  It 
will most likely be very gradual, leading to something more serious 
in the last book.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Madame Bones.

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
Dumbledore¹s pensieve.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
Yes, which will irritate Snape to no end.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
Yes, and will do better with his own wand (rather than his father's).

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
6 (he didn't finish the Astonomy or History of Magic tests, so he 
might not have done enough to pass.)

Predictions (0-10 points each):
1. Harry will inherit Sirius' house and will give it to the order.

2. Hermione and Ron will officially become a couple.

3. Grawp will not like Ron because of his relationship with 
Hermione.  Grawp has a bit of a "crush" on Hermione.

3. Harry, Ron and Hermione will be given permission to use magic as 
needed (not have to wait to become-of-age).

4. Fred and George's inventions will be very useful in the fight 
against Voldemort.

5. Hermione will help Neville figure out a secret message his mum is 
trying to give him through the candy wrappers.

6. Lupin will want revenge for the loss of his friends.  He will 
kill either Pettigrew or Belatrix.

7. Ron will become Quidditch captain because Harry has too much to 
deal with.  Ginny will become a Chaser and Harry will be reinstated 
as Seeker.

8. Grawp will be killed as he protects Hermione in a Death-eater 
battle.

9. Harry will learn that he can do wandless magic, but will have 
difficulty controling it.

10. Bill Weasley will be instrumental in bringing the trolls to 
Dumbledore's side.
