Carol:
> I predict that Peter Pettigrew will fulfill his life debt to Harry by
> using his silver hand to kill Fenrir Greyback (assuming that Greyback
> is not already in Azkaban)--two minor mysteries from Peter's 
> character arc resolved together.

Exodusts:
Interestingly, there is a recent essay on livejournal about this very 
topic. I have to say it is NOT going to happen. JKR dismissed the idea 
of Peter killing Remus with his hand in the rumours section of her 
website, and the wording is highly suggestive that she is dismissive of 
the whole idea, not just that Remus will be the one to die.

Julie:
> I like the idea of the Dementor's sucking the soul part out of
> Harry's scar! In fact, maybe that's why they're so attracted to
> Harry. And if LV is soul-sucked by the Dementors, that's not really
> dying, but living on as a soulless shell. (Though it still seems
> like dying to  me, unless it's analogous to being fully paralyzed
> with your mind intact, since how else would one know how dreadful
> their soul-sucked existence is?)

Exodusts:
I guessed the possibility of a Dementor liberating the soul-part in 
Harry, but the credit for the scar-kiss detail must go, I think, to 
Red Hen or an associate.

Julie:
> Agreed. And I think Voldemort may attack Hogwarts, which will get
> the Order and DA deeply involved. And I like the idea of one of the
> portraits being a spy!

Exodusts:
Thanks! That idea I think is actually an original Exodusts Prediction
(TM), unless anyone can point out anything to the contrary on the net.

Quick_Silver:
> Harry killing Voldemort with AK (never going to happen) proving 
> that there are things worth splitting your soul for 
> (interesting...Sirius believed in dying for something and DDM!Snape 
> was willing to risk his soul for something).

Exodusts:
It just hit me (probably not original but...), if killing splits your 
soul, then that COULD be how Harry gets Voldemort's soul-piece out. If 
he finally AKs Voldemort after the other Horcruxes have been destroyed, 
and Nagini (who isn't really one) killed, he'll be thinking: this is 
it, all 7, we've got him. But then the last soul part flies out of 
Harry and it takes over either the dead body, or possesses someone 
close by (who Harry cares for) stretching out the climax.
PS One other reason why Hogwarts will of course be open - it is a good 
prediction that Harry will want to use the Pensieve in DD's office.
