Albus Dumbledore.

Salazar Slytherin.

No big secret in Book 6, but Petunia, now she'll have a big secret, 
but we may not find out about it until book 7.

 > 4.	Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
Somebody never previously named, as usual.

> 5.	With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 
It will be somebody completely inappropriate. I'll guess Hannah 
Abbot.

> 6.	Who will be the new Minister of Magic? 
A DE. It's either a secret DE or somebody who has been "persuaded" 
to be a DE. 

> 7.	What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 
DD's pensieve (which was passed on by Godric Gryffindor).

> 8.	Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 
Yes.

> 9.	Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
As unlikely as I think it will be...yes.
 
> 10.	How many OWLs did Harry get? 
Seven. He'll get the usual suspects: DADA, charms, potions, 
transfiguration, care of magical creatures, herbology, plus one more 
that he shouldn't be expected to get. I'm guessing divination since 
that will give us a chance to see what's going with Firenze and 
Sybill.

> 1. Wedding bells for Bill and Fleur. Those Weasley men just can't 
resist those Harridan women.
> 2. Hermione will get the maximum number of OWLS. That's 12, and 
how she'll get them without taking 12 classes I don't know. She'll 
get all O's, except for one A in Astronomy, which she will get 
because she wasn't paying enough attention. She will whine 
incessantly about her single A. Ron won't pursue this harridan until 
Book 7.
> 3. Percy will gain new status as an author. He will have penned 
those ever so helpful MoM pamphlets on avoiding He-Who-Must-Not-Be-
Named and his DEs. Ron's response will be derisive. Percy will not 
be fired, but eventually he will have to decide between the DE 
infested MoM and the truth. He'll choose truth. Would that he also 
choose a harridan, but I'm afraid he'll break the mold.
> 4. Harry will see his parents get killed in the pensieve. But his 
learning to use the pensieve will be important for something more 
than this because Harry will be able to retrieve some of Voldemort's 
thoughts. He will be able to analyze these thoughts in a detatched 
way that will not allow Voldemort to realize what Harry is up to.
> 5. Revolts galore: goblin revolt, giants will side with Voldemort, 
Dementors already have.

Predictions that may be for either book 6 or book 7:

1. Molly will die. So will a twin (Fred, I think).
2. We'll hear from Sirius again. Whether we see him is not so sure.
3. Petunia will turn out to be a muggle because she refused the 
invitation to Hogwarts.
4. Harry gets a new pet...Fawkes.
5. Draco will join the DEs. He'll try to avenge his father, but 
later he will chicken out like Regulus. But he may get away with it. 
Lucius will be snuffed by Voldemort.
6. A human being will disapparate in Hogwarts.

> Comments? Suggestions?
