Mugglenet is saying the same thing, that it's Hermione, but honestly,
I can't see it.  It definitely looks like a girl, but her hair is
short, which Hermione's is not, does not look at all bushy, and looks
more black than brown.  So unless Hermione dyes her hair and cuts it,
I can't see it.

Let's look at the other books, both front and back cover,

On SS, we saw Harry, Fluffy and Dumbledore, all of which are new characters.

On CoS, we saw Fawkes (new), Ron and Ginny, who is kinda new because
we never really got to meet her before.  It is also a picture of a
scene, which the first book was not.

On PoA, we again see a scene, but we see Buckbeak (new), Sirius (new),
Dementors (kinda counts as new), and Hermione, but again, this is a
scene.

On GoF, not a scene.  We saw Cedric, Victor and Fleur on the front, all new.

On OotP, we saw Moody (who we had not met real one before), Tonks
(new) and what I think is Lupin, although it could also be Mundungus
(new).  They are all in the Black house, I think, I think that is
Phineas's (new!) portrait on the wall behind them.  OotP certainly had
a scene with Harry in the Ministry, but I don't think this is an
actual scene, but rather a collage like SS and GoF.

So.  On HBP we could certainly HAVE a scene with Dumbledore/Harry, but
I'm going more for a collage for the bottom half (which I think will
be the back cover, although something else entirely could be).

We have already seen Ginny, Ron and Hermione, all in scene-only
instances, nothing where it is particularly them.  So I if the three
people are supposed to be new characters, or at least people we have
not really met before, then it could very well be Lily on the right,
and two completely new people on the left.

Ginny/Lily has a very concerned, sad look on her face as she looks up
at Harry, which leads me to lean more towards Lily, as I would imagine
Ginny more trying to do something instead of just gazing sadly.

Oh well.
