1. Who will be the most major character to die?
    I really think that Peter might be the one.  Maybe near the end 
when Harry is having a showdown with LV Peter will step up and repay 
his blood debt.

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," describe 
more.)
    I am going to go with Aberforth.  Maybe him and DD are disantly 
related to Godric Gryffindor.

3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated and
full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.)
       There is no big secret. Just a little more information on her 
and James' relationship.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
    The old lion guy, who is going to be the husband of McGonagall.

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
    I am keeping my fingers crossed for Ginny.  Although he is going 
to develop feelings for her in 6 and go for it in 7!

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
    Marietta Edgecombe relative in the Ministry.  (she was the girl 
who snitched in OoP about the DA)

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
     A collection from ALL the headmasters at hogwarts.  Shall we 
call it the "Head Pensive"?

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
    Much to Snapes dismay, yes.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
    Alas poor Nevy...he will have to.  His studies for Herbology 
requires it.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
     Lets say 10.  Oh I can't wait to find out!

Other predictions:

1) Harry will finally start to appreciate his friends a little more.  
And come to an understanding with DD.

2) Hopefully we will find out more about the teachers lives.  Like 
spouses and what they do when Hogwarts is let out for the summer and 
holidays.

3) There will be a wedding.  Maybe Bill and Fleur will get hitched 
and Harry is leaving the Dursleys early for it.

Okay.  That is all I can think of right now.  Maybe after I think 
about it for a little bit I will come back!
