Lupin, but a Weasley (Bill or Charlie) will also die.

> describe more.) 
Felix Felicis, the lionlike character described on JKR's site, who is

> 3. What is Lily's big secret? 
She put a protective charm on baby Harry which could only be activated
by her self-sacrifice.

> 4.	Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
Felix Felicis, as above.

> 5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
Urgh. I hate SHIPping. Ginny, I guess.

> 6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Madame Bones.
 
> 7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 
Easy. A Pensieve (not Dumbledore's; his isn't cracked).

> 8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions? Yes. (From Snape, I hope!)

> 9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions? Yes. (Ditto.)

> 10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
Five: DADA, Potions, Charms, Herbology, and Transfiguration.
Definitely not Divination, History of Magic, or Astronomy (because of
the interruption).
