To which Inkling replies,

Well, I'd say the cover art, taken all together, raises the odds for 
both Snape and Dumbledore as opposed to other candidates -- but of 
course nothing's certain, especially with JKR! I'm just hoping it's 
Snape because I think it would make for the most intriguing plot 
line.

One thing I do think can definitely be inferred from the UK cover is 
that Harry passes his potions OWL and Snape is forced to admit him 
to his advanced classes, but this was likely anyway, given the way 
JKR set up the potions OWL scene in OotP.
