HBP Predictions

This is actually my first post, since I am a new member to the 
group!  But, I suppose it's a good way to start.

1. Who will be the most major character to die?
This is a tough one, but I got it right in OoTP!  I think it will 
probably be Dumbeldore.

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," describe 
more.)
An acquaintance of Dumbeldore's that we haven't had the pleasure of 
meeting just yet.  He will be introduced in the first few chapters, 
but we won't know he's the HBP until later.

3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated and 
full credit
given to everyone if no
big secret is revealed.)
I believe that the big secret will come from Petunia, but it may 
concern Lily.  It's probably about Lily's morphing abilities that 
she has passed on to Harry...

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
Snape.  This makes it possible for Harry to get into the NEWT level 
of potions since the new professor won't be as strict as Snape was, 
and Harry's already going to have an O in DADA!

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
Ginny Weasley, after much confusion over his feelings, and Ron's 
feelings, even if Ron always seemed indifferent to the possibility 
of Harry and Ginny getting involved.

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

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
Voldemort's Pensieve

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
Yes, since Snape won't be teaching it.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
Yes, since he didn't have Snape on his back during the Owl exam.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
7

Predictions (0-10 points each):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question 
section. "Negative"
predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* come skipping into 
Hogwarts offering
free pony rides," will receive no credit. Obvious predictions, 
i.e., "Harry will
be in his 6th year at Hogwarts," will likewise receive no credit. 
Only your
first 5 predictions will be evaluated and included in your score.

1. Ron and Hermione will get together, but it will not be a 
publicized matter, they will keep it very private.

2. Sirius will play a part in helping Harry face his destiny and 
help him through his dillema of how to battle against LV

3. Harry will realize he's a morphmagous after remembering that he 
grew his hair back after Petunia cut it off, but he will never be 
able to get rid of his scar

4. Both Firenze and Trelawney will both continue to teach 
divination, but since they teach separate types they may have to 
divide class schedules and let people choose which to take.  Harry 
may stay in Firenze's class to see if he can figure out what's ahead 
for the WW.

5. Harry will come into contact with Pettigrew again while fighting 
against Lord Voldemort, and Pettigrew will try to protect Harry, 
letting Harry have a chance to escape, but Pettigrew will be killed 
after that. 

I doubt that I will be reading some of this stuff in 32 and 1/2 hours
(It's so close now!) but it sure is fun to predict.
