Marmelade Mom comes out of lurkerdom to enjoy this contest.  
Thanks, TigerPatronus!

1. Who will be the most major character to die?
Dumbledore
2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy,"
describe more.)  Godric Griffyndor
3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated
and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.)  She 
was an unspeakable (as was James).
4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?  Snape
5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? Luna 
Lovegood
6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?  Amelia Bones
7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?  A 
pensieve that does not belong to either Dumbledore or Snape 
but to the HPB himself.  In it, Harry will see both Gryffindor and 
Slytherin as memories.
8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?  Yes, and tie Neville for 
high marks
9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?  Yes, see above.
10. How many OWLs did Harry get?  8


Predictions (0-10 points each):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question
section. "Negative" predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* 
come
skipping into Hogwarts offering free pony rides," will receive no
credit. Obvious predictions, i.e., "Harry will be in his 6th year at
Hogwarts," will likewise receive no credit.

1. We will learn that House elves are not affected by Dementors 
and can protect their families from them.
2. Harry will accuse Snape of being a double agent, and of being 
complicit in both his father's and Sirius' deaths. There will
be a *
big*, ugly blowup between them and Harry will not back down.
3. Snape will reveal why Dumbledore trusts him.
4. Bill and Fleur will get married.  So will Hagrid and Madame 
Maxime.
5. Stubby Boardman (aka a member of the Black family) will sing 
at the wedding.  His singing will be terrible, but the French just 
love him.
