Well I guess I'll make my very first entrance into the group my predictions.  I must add that I am so happy to see such intelligent conversation on this group, I've been reading for a week without answering, and wow, you all have some wonderful ideas, beliefs, and insight.
 

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

> 2.      Who is the Half-Blood Prince? 
Gordic Gryfindor

> 3.      What is Lily's big secret?
I don't think its the blood love magic everyone is talking about.  I just see that as an act of a mom who doesn't want to see her baby die, I don't think she specialized in it or researched it. If Lily has a secret it's more of Petunias secret in that she had some form of contact with Petunia about the Wizarding World.

> 4.      Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
I'd love to see Lupin, but I think he's better served being part of the Order.  THe new DADA could be the real mad eye- but I doubt it.  I think the best bet if it's someone who we know is Tonks, whose injuries prevent her from returning to Auror duties, or someone we've never met.

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

He will have minor flirtations with Cho again, and probably a few others, some Ginny sparks may start to fly, but I don't see a major relationship.

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

I don't think it could be any of the completey suppotive of DD or Fudge, so I will say probably Amos Diggory - hard line on the law but not unfriendly.

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

It's some sort of penseive, but I don't think the thoughts come from either Harry or DD - it may be some long lost penseive, or maybe we find out that someone's thoughts can be taken from a pensieve and put into your own brain, a transference of memory.

> 8.      Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 
Yes - the idea of killing Harry's dream of being an Auror this early would just be dumb.

> 9.      Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 
Yes - Neville's confidence is rising and the idea of a Neville Longbottom auror just sounds intriguing.
 
> 10.      How many OWLs did Harry get? 

Harry got all he could possibly get minus of course Divination.  SO that would be Care of Magical Creatures, DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, and Astronomy, History of Magic.  yes he scraped by in Astronomy with a great score on the theory. SO my answer is 8.
