I agree with you, Hannah, that the boy on the left is Ron. He 
is growing older and is becomming settled in his appearence. I 
believe the person on the right of Ron is Hermione. The girl's 
hair looks as if it is behind her shoulders, not necessarily cut 
short like some have been saying. The redheaded woman to the 
right of the stone basin, which I believe is a Pensieve, is Lily. 
JKR says we are going to find out more in this book, HBP, about 
Harry's scar, and about the events surrounding Lily and James' 
death. The dark mark shown in the picture could be from the night 
they are killed.

Another theory I have is Dumbledore could be showing Harry what 
he remembers from the events surrounding his parent's death. No, 
Dumbledore was not there when it happened, but he might be showing 
Harry details about it. I also believe that this, the Pensieve, is 
an indication that Dumbledore, not Snape, is going to work with 
Harry with Occlumency. Yes, Snape might be there to help if needed, 
but the first set of lessons did not work so well. Plus, if Harry 
takes potions, which I believe he will from the cover art I have 
seen of the UK Adult cover. It is of a torn and battered advanced 
potions book. We might have Harry taking potions and/OR we are 
going to find out a lot more about Professor Snape (Which I hope 
for- he is great, mean but great).
