Nope, I do not think so...my guess is that 1. Ron will wait so he 
can take apparition test/lessons with Haryy...Hermione will probably 
sit and pass exam and practical...but that is how she is...Ron(I'm 
suppositioning..will spend summer practicing for quiditch team...

doddiemoe here:
If any of the trio can transform..it will be Ron...he needs a 
magical talent that will shine in his family...I doubt it wll be 
Hermione/Harry..This is something the twins, nor older bros.etc. 
could do....Ron began to come into his own towards the end of 
OOP....book six is where he will superceede his family..

I KNOW Harry will continue studies in potions....I do not believe 
that snape will be the professor...

However, due to prophecy...both Harry and Neville must receive the 
same education...(makes me wonder if snape doesn't have a prophecy 
of his own)...

I agree, however I get a sneaky suspicion that if any of the 
Weasley's will hold elective office at this point in the books it 
will be Molly more than Arthur! 

If book 6 is more like part one of a two-part book, will book 6 end

I agree book six will have a cliffhanger ending...with Dumbledore 
dying!..I dd is an animagus...his animi would be a Phoenix...however 
no one like to "die" (physical death is painful---not fawkes, not 
dd, we have yet to hear if nick Flamel died...

We do not need to hear about Voldy's birth...we already know..

We know a great deal about about Voldy's birth than any other 
character in said books..My hypothesis: At the least, we need to 
hear more about the death, than the birth!
