These are not such ridiculous predictions in fact. Not
that I believe they will happen, neither do I
disbelieve it, but the idea that DD is the HBP has, I
think, a lot of fans, and I don't find anything
ludicrous about it. 2 might come true because Draco
might need approval and validation from somebody
closer to Harry, somebody outside his usual circle,
and Luna is pure-hearted enough to be able to love
even an apparently evil person; if it happens,
however, I predict Luna will die in this book. We know
that all pure-blooded families are related, so there
is no reason why Severus and James would not be
distant cousins, even if Snape is not pure-blooded but
has one muggle parent (which is not necessarily
unlikely). As for Percy, he is ambitious enough to
like the part where he gets to act like a mistreated
hero when all ends well :-)

When it became known that one major character will die
in OotP, I was pretty sure it was Sirius, because his
name cannot be cleared in the present circumstances,
therefore he would not add much to the story if he
were alive. On similar grounds I predict now that
Dumbledore will not die, although, as many people
suggested, he might be taken ill for a large part of
the story - incidentally, not the middle part as it
has happened so far, but the end itself. Hermione
couldn't help Harry in Book2, Hagrid was taken away in
the same book, Ron was ill at the end of Book 3, McGo
was not around for the big adventure at the MoM, I
think it is time for Dumbledore to let Harry manage on
his own to the end. But I don't think he will die.

If I am to make one ridiculous prediction that I think
might have chances to happen in Book 6, I will say
that either the twins, or Fred only, or even Ron will
be tempted to turn nasty. Percy never will, though.
Percy fights for what is right, even if in a rather
boring way.

But I'd like to see Luna loving Draco and leaving him
broken hearted and grown-up when he loses her. Poor
Luna. There is a lot of potential for conflicts with
romantic undertone, what with Viktor coming back and
hormones pushing human Mandrakes to move in each
other's pots and the centaurs saying that Harry is
close to being an full-grown man, and all. There is a
lot of space to explore this theme without getting all
soapy-opera.

Coming back to your predictions, I don't think it is
unlikely that Peter spies for the Order either. Or at
least for Lupin. Who, if will seem to be ESE, as
suggested here and as I find very possible, will most
definitely be revealed as a double-spy. Where does
this leave Severus? In a place where we keep a very
close watch on him, as Jo herself suggested.
