Since Ginger offered her predictions, I guess that means that I 
should too

>       1. Who will be the most major character to die?  
> 
Molly Weasley - it's Cruel Dramatic Irony 101, my dear Watson. Molly 
had the boggart vision of her immediate family members being struck 
successively dead  - ergo, it is most logical that she herself will 
perish.

> 2.                  Who is the Half-Blood Prince? 
> 
I've maintained it was Godric Gryffindor all along
> 
> 3.                  What is Lily's big secret?  

That her older sister Petunia also attended Hogwarts, but was 
expelled. 

   Who will be the new DADA teacher?  

I'll vote for the lion-faced guy - every DADA teacher has always been 
a new charcter, why should JKR change now?

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

Luna


> 6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?  
 
A brand-new character.

2. Azkaban becomes a fully-owned subsidiary of You-Know-Inc., with 
the dementors returning in triumph. Several prominent MOMers are 
imprisoned at Azkaban, including Fudge, Umbridge and Percy.

3. In his last will and testament, Sirius named his godson as his 
sole heir, meaning Harry will become the owner of 12 Grimmauld Place 
once is of age. 

4. The house-elves remain unliberated. Kreacher will be suitably 
dealt with for his treachery against Sirius (perhaps by his fellow 
elves).

5. Dumbledore will remain hale and hearty as Book Six concludes. The 
cover scene depicts their traditional year-end colloquy, as 
Dumbledore uses the Pensieve to guide Harry through his infant 
memories of James' and Lily's murder.
