HBP prediction contest

No: HPFGUIDX 130123

I know my entry is a little late (I've been away) but I couldn't 
resist joining in. So here goes:

1. Who will be the most major character to die?
Dumbledore, but he won't be the only one.

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," describe 
more.)
A descendant of Godric Gryffinor, who is now dead.

3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated
and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.)
Her magic once saved Petunia's life/family.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
The old Lion Guy, who may be an old friend of Dumbledore's. But I 
reckon Snape will eventually take over the job (With dire 
consequences) as 'OLG' will be called away doing whatever it was 
that stopped him being DADA teacher last year.

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
No one, but he will get closer to Ginny as they are finally playing 
quidditch together. He'll also get punched by whoever it is that is 
going out with Ginny at the time.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Amelia Bones (Girl Power!! I would say that Hermione should go for 
the job as a long term plan
) Also, she's intelligent and fair. A 
perfect leader in these difficult times.

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
A penseive. Dull answer, I know.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
Yes!

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
No way!

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
He'll fail one of them (most likely Astronomy). So will Ron.

Predictions (0-10 points each):

1. Ron will become quidditch captain.

2. Hermione gets top marks in all but one OWL and can't stop going 
on about how she is unhappy with her performance. This will not 
please Ron. At all.

3. Ron will start dating a Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw girl. She will 
eventually dump him because of Hermione. This time, he'll finally 
understand.

4. We'll find out what Snape was up to in the last book, and a 
little more about what happened to make him change sides.

5. Theodore Nott will play a part in the main story. And Draco 
Malfoy won't like it, whatever it is.
