Okay, I'll bite:

1.	Who will be the most major character to die?
There will be two, actually—Fred and George. I think so for a
number of reasons--not the least of which is simply intuition. 
They will die either at the hands of the Death Eaters, or the MOM, 
or some combination of the two. There is a big difference between breaking rules in school and skirting around the law in the world outside of Hogwarts. I think they will go down fighting like their uncles, the Prewitts. Furthermore, over and over we have been told how similar they are to James and Serius—the only two Marauders to die so far. I think they will join the Order of the Phoenix, and I think they will die.

2.	Who is the Half-Blood Prince?
No idea. I do think it will be a new character.

3.	What is Lily's big secret?
She knew what was going to happen at Godric's Hollow and took
steps to protect Harry.

4.	Who will be the next DADA teacher?
I'd really like it to be either Lupin or the real Mad Eye Moody,
but don't think it will be either of them. I guess it will be a 
new character—maybe Felix Felicias.

5.	With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
Probably nobody in this book; he has too much else on his mind. 
If he does, however, I vote for Ginny, but suspect they won't get 
together until book 7.

6.	Who will be the next minister of magic?
Amos Diggory has the most potential to provide a rich texture to 
the next book. He's over his shock at Cedric's death, and now
seriously blames Harry for it.

7.	What is that bowl-thing on the US HBP cover?
Hmmm
a
pensieve maybe? I don't know whose—it looks older than 
DD's. Whoever's (is there such a word?) it is, I think Harry will 
use it to see what happened at Godric's Hollow that fateful night.

8.	Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
Of course!

9.	Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
I hope so, so yeah.

10.	How many OWLs did Harry get?
Don't know how the grading is done—one or two for written and 
practical. I'm thinking yes for: DADA, Potions, Transfiguration, 
Charms, and Care of Magical Creatures, and no for Divination, 
History of Magic, and possibly Astronomy. So I guess five or six 
(ten or twelve?) "yes," and two or three (four or six?) "no." I 
think he'll have O's on DADA, Potions, and Care of Magical 
Creatures, and E's on Transfiguration and Charms. If he passes 
Astronomy, it will be with no more than an A.

Other Predictions:
1.	Sybil will make a third prediction.
2.	Katie Bell will be the next Griffindor Quidditch captain
3.	Kreacher's head will be mounted at #12 Grimmauld Place. 
(Well, I can dream, can't I?)
4.	Draco will go over to the Dark Side to take revenge on 
Harry, and Narcissa will also become more active on the Dark Side.
5.	Victor will reappear, and Ron will be very upset, leading 
him finally to realize and express his feelings for Hermione.
6.	We will learn who killed Broderick Bode. My money is on 
Elphias Doge.

Cheers,
