Predictions (0-10 points each): 

 
1.	Percy Weasley will be the new potions teacher; he will be out of his MOM job, and possibly an outcast for siding with Fudge-DD is notorious for hiring the outcasts/oddballs.  This is how Harry (and Neville) will continue potions after his none too stellar Potions OWL and for Percy to redeem himself.
2.	Neville will get his own wand (Holly, quite stiff, 13 inches long. Core of a single Augurey feather), one "...that chooses the wizard..." not one that was inherited from his dad.  By doing this he will continue his progress in DADA, thus gaining confidence and getting over his fear of Snape. 
3.	The trio (plus Neville) will learn to become Animagi with help from Peter Pettigrew (his redemption).  My guess as to the animals are: Hermione: Horse, Ron: Bear, Neville: Eagle  and Harry: Lion
4.	It will be determined that Harry is a direct descendent of Godric Gryffindor-heir of Gryffindor!  JKR says on her site in FAQ "...that a discovery Harry made in COS foreshadows something that he finds out in HBP."  (Fawkes bringing the sword of Gryffindor to his aid in the chamber)   Also interesting that Ronald means "advisor to the King".
5.	Harry will be elected/selected/chosen based on his direct relationship to Godric Gryffindor, the HBP, to lead the fight against LV.  Harry which is derived from Harold, means Army Ruler.

 
Thank you, have a great weekend,
