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

Overall, Snape. I hate to say it, as I'm his absolute biggest fan, 
but I thik either in book 6 or 7 it would fit the redemptive pattern 
established so far that he becomes a martyr and at last we see him 
truly absolved (and so does Harry)through a noble death saving 
Harry, so Harry can save the world. The book should be re-
named "Seversu Snape an dthe Noble Sacrifice" if you ask me :)

2.	Who is the Half-Blood Prince?  

I must confess to not hvaing the faintest idea, but for the game, 
I'll say Dumbledore! 

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's related to the Heir of Slytherin (whihc is Voldie, isn't it?) 
in some way. It'd make sense that the heir's of Gryffindor and 
Slytherin ended up producing Harry the Unifier.

4.	Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
 
That Lion Chap
 
5.	With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 
 
Ginny, revolted as I am...

6.	Who will be the new Minister of Magic? 
 
Either Amelia Bones or Dumbledore. Probably Amelia, as D will be 
busy. We know whose side she's on and I don't think it makes 
narrative sense (here I go...I always say that and am totally wrong, 
lol) for us to have someone we've never met. Unless it's Lion Chap 
and Lion chap is the half blood prince and MOM, OF COURSE! 
 
7.	What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 
 
A pensieve (sorry for ebing dull)

8.	Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
 
Yes.
  
9.	Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 

No. I know he did much better in the exams than in class, but I 
still don't see how he will suddenly find Snape amenable to having 
him in class, and i don't think he'd have achieved the top grade 
needed. 
 
10.	How many OWLs did Harry get? 

All of them
  
Predictions (0-10 points each): 
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section. 

1. Draco will become a DE, or if he's too young, side with them, in 
an attempt to avenge his father, but will show some redemptive 
qualities at the very end, not by suddenly doing something 
demonstratively charming, but by having the clear, immediate 
opportunity to capture harry or another DA member and turning a 
blind eye, or flufing something he was asked to do on purpose.

2.  Neville will have the memory charm we can assume is on him to 
protect him from the memory of what happened to his parents removed 
and will be revealed to be very quick witted once that burden has 
gone. He will also be aided by havig his own wand, rather than his 
Dad's.

3.  Percy will be re-united with the Weasleys through something that 
happens to either him, or one of them that makes them forget their 
grudge. I don't think it'll be soon, but it will happen. 
 
4.  Lupin will tell Harry more about his parents and the 
significance of Harry having his mother's eyes will be revealed.
 
5.  Lucius will escape from Azkaban and die in the battle. Mrs 
Malfoy won't mourn and neither will Draco.

Ta-da!
