TigerPatronus:
> 1.	Who will be the most major character to die? 

Neville Longbottom

> 2.	Who is the Half-Blood Prince?  

Godric Gryffindor's son.  A direct ancestor of someone currently in 
the story (I'd guess Harry and thus he's the Heir of Gryffindor)

> 3.	What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated 
> and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.) 

Lily magically aided her sister to help her conceive.  My spec is 
that Petunia was barren or nearly barren, thus out of total 
desperation she went to Lily for help when all muggle options proved 
fruitless.  Thus Dudley is something of a homunculus (those who've 
seen "Full Metal Alchemist" have a vague idea to what I'm referring), 
although he is all human and carries the blood of Petunia & Vernon 
(but with Lily's magical intervention).

This 'blood alchemy' (or "ancient magic" as Voldie called it) is also 
(in theory) incidentally what Lily used to protect Harry from 
Voldemort Halloween 1981.  She researched the magic because of 
Petunia's request, this request inadvertantly helped saved Harry... I 
just love the symmetry of this spec. ;)

> 4.	Who will be the new DADA teacher? 

Kingsley Shacklebolt

> 5.	With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 

Ginny, but with possible feelings/confusion later on in regards to 
Hermione.

> 6.	Who will be the new Minister of Magic? 

Amos Diggory

> 7.	What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 

Salazar Slytherin's pensieve (passed down through the family line, 
but eventually somehow landed in Dumbledore's care)

> 8.	Will Harry take Advanced Potions?

Yes.
 
> 9.	Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 

Yes.

> 10.	How many OWLs did Harry get? 

All of them, but Astronomy.
