I, for one, love reading everyone's predictions.  They are interesting and thought provoking.  While I hope my predictions are the correct ones, :-) I still find reading others fascinating.

I don't see how this one can come about.  The WW I'm sure knows, or soon will, who the DEs were that got caught and sent to Azkaban.  I seriously doubt that they would allow a known and practicing DE as MoM.

I could see this happening. Just what our favorite trio doesn't need.  A jr. DE who can attack and flee!

I would love to see this.  Hermione's patronus is an otter, and we know from JKR that the patronus and animagus are the same.  Cute!
