HBP Theories (just for fun)

Here's what I'm proposing for Book 6 - these are just for fun, I 
didn't enter the contest.  But I've loved reading everyone's theories 
and look forward to seeing what we get right and what Jo surprises us 
with!

*Snape played an integral role in saving Harry that fateful night.  
It was not the elixer of life that was given to Harry as some have 
predicted, but rather Snape's potion that `puts a stopper in 'death'. 
He arrived before Voldemort that evening with a warning and the 
potion.  James didn't believe Snape's warning, but Lily did. It was 
the combination of this potion along with Lily's charm that saved 
Harry.

*Percy will either die saving a family member (my bet is Ron or the 
twins), or he will come to his senses and beg for forgiveness after 
one of the Weasly clan is killed in the war.

*Tonks will be captured and/or killed when her clumsiness gives her 
away at an inopportune moment.

*There is a spy within the Order, but it will be a member that has 
only been mentioned briefly (i.e. not Kingsley, Dung, Tonks, Lupin, 
etc.).  Maybe one of the others that came to pick up Harry at the 
beginning of OotP.

*Ginny will reveal her animagus form (a cat).  This may not be until 
Book 7, though.

*Fred and George's role in the war will be important and before
the end of the series, Mrs. Weasley will express how proud of them she is.

*The Half-Blood Prince will be introduced as one of the portraits in 
Hogwarts (grabbed onto this from finwitch's post – I think
it's a brilliant idea).

*There will be another Basilisk, possibly created from Hagrid's
hens and Trevor the toad.

*There will be multiple deaths on both sides – this is a war, and
there will be many casualties.  However, on the `good' side,
I think there will only be one main character death and several secondary and tertiary deaths (i.e. Order members, parents of students, etc.).   

*My best bet on the main character death is Dumbledore, only because 
he is featured prominently on every cover except for the UK Adult 
version.  I predict he'll die at the end after he has taught
Harry most of what he needs to know.  

*We'll get most of the backstory of the `fateful night'
in this book, but not the magical key as to why Voldie did not die.  That will be saved for book 7, which will be an action-based book focused mainly on the war.
