Exodusts:
1) Occam's Razor says the laughing was Voldemort, since we already 
know he has a "high, cold voice". There is no need for a mysterious 
female. Snape (fav), Pettigrew, long shot is Harry himself, watching 
from the shadows with a Time-Turner.

Exodusts:
2) Lupin will not die, since he has a viable future with Tonks and 
illustrates too many important moral messages for JKR to idly kill 
him.


> > Luckdragon:
> > 3) Snape will be redeemed.

> Alla:
> 3) hmmm, that is a possibility of course.

Exodusts:
3) He will be simultaneously mortally wounded/redeemed in a vital 
strike against Voldemort, saving Harry. Just time for a 
reconciliatory chat with his last breath.


> > Luckdragon:
> > 4) Someone utterly shocking will be revealed as ESE!

> Alla:
> 4) Either nobody or a minor character.

Exodusts:
4) No. Snape being revealed as ESG! is the "big twist" of book 7.


> > Luckdragon:

> Alla:
> 5) Could be.

Exodusts:
5) If his big fear is death, why not just have him die? To prove that 
Dumbledore was right about there being things worse than death? As a 
neat solution to the problem of Voldemort's outright death requiring 
the destruction of Horcrux-Harry? (The latter could be avoided by 
having a Dementor, Harry's Big Fear, sucking the soul-part out 
through his scar). Still, a solid 50/50 prediction.


> > Luckdragon:
> > 6) A Wizard(Lupin), a Witch(Bellatrix), a Centaur(Bane), and a   
> > House-elf(Winky) will die.

Exodusts:
6) Lupin NO; Bellatrix YES, 100% come-uppance time at the hands of a 
sub-hero (not Harry, probably Neville by indirect means); Bane, if he 
is the centaur-leader, possibly yes, to be replaced by Firenze; 
Winky, no, her death lacks a moral basis, her partial recovery suits 
JKR's style much better.


> > Luckdragon:
> > 7) Harry will find out his family owned Zonko's.

> Alla: 
> 7) Would love that.

Exodusts:
7) Evidence? Isn't "inventor-of the-snitch-descendants" more 
plausible? Maybe Unspeakable pay turns out to be good, if both his 
parents worked in Dept of Mysteries. Long shot: Potters = last living 
descendants of Godric Gryffindor, inherited riches (JKR supposedly 
quashed the heir-of-Gryffindor theory, but if you read the quote, she 
is prompted to deny it, delays an answer, then brushes the topic off 
with a "Yeah").

Exodusts:
Of course. Additionally, if he does die in book 7, he might a) come 
back moments later in a blaze of glory (provided Dumbledore isn't the 
one who gets resurrected: it's one or the other, not both, and if one 
DOES come back it will be through the Locked Door in the DoM) or b) 
be able to chat merrily to Hermione and Ron every day via a Two-Way 
mirror he takes through the veil, surrounded by his dead Parents, 
Sirius, Dumbledore, and with a nice scarless forehead.

Exodusts:
It will be true, he will sacrifice himself, but it will all work out 
for the best.


> Alla:  
> Snape will get what he deserves whatever that is. :-)

Exodusts:
Yes, redemption and reconciliation with Lily's son.


> Alla:  
> Oh, of course the AK Snape performed was very real, not fake.

Exodusts:
Of course. Whatever dumbledoreisnotdead.com says, the evidence is 
clear from the books, leaving aside the obvious fact that Dumbledore 
has to be dead, in order to undergo Jesus-style Phoenix-inspired 
resurrection.


> Alla:  
> Hogwarts will be open.

Exodusts:
Definitely, since there is nothing to prevent McGonagall from opening 
it, and Harry needs to go there to chat to Dumbledore's painting, 
fetch the Sorting Hat, get Zacharias Smith's home address, possibly 
find the heir of Ravenclaw, and expose the painting of Fortescue in 
the Head's Office as Voldemort's spy (under duress - his relative, 
Florian has being kidnapped by the Death Eaters).


> Alla:  
> Will add more later if come up with something new.

Exodusts:
If you want, I reckon I can sketch out the whole plot of book 7 up to 
about the 3/5 point, when it all becomes a bit hazy, minus the 
Ravenclaw Horcrux subplot, which will be done with Brand New stuff, 
if not a brand new item, and probably provide the title ("Harry 
Potter and the Heir of Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff/Gryffindor", anyone?). An 
alternative random stab: "Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Curse".
