Hello All
I seem to be on a bit of a posting streak, so why not play and hand 
or two on this discussion. 
1) Harry is going to live only because I cannot see any reason why 
the last word of the last book should be scar, unless it was talking 
about Harry. I mean it could be talking about a new scar someone 
acquired during the last book, but let's be honest, if the last word 
is scar it probably has something to do with Harry's. 
2) This is a bit of a joke, but I would like to see Voldemort beaten 
up without the use of magic. The only evidence I have to think this 
way is that Harry and Voldemort's wands cannot duel one another, and 
I believe both love their wands too much to part with them before a 
final battle. Another reason is I believe Olivander to be secreted 
away by The Order thus not allowing Voldemort to find a suitable 
wand to substitute in the battle with Harry. Plus I think it would 
be ironic and funny for "Lord" Voldemort to be killed with some 
muggle (not even human in Voldemort's eyes) boxing skills Harry 
picked up from Dudley in their numerous fights. The 17 year old 
Harry could surely physically abuse the 70 plus year old Voldemort 
based solely on youth alone.   
3) I think Nagini would be a good horcrux if she is killed by 
Fawkes, but as a whole I just think she is meant to throw us off 
track. She seems to be by far the worst possible horcrux, her only 
saving graces being he underlying of the Slytherin connection, and 
Voldemort's uncanny control of her (which I believe can be explained 
by his uncanny magical abilities and power of possession, not his 
putting his soul in her).
4) A lot of characters are going to die. We have had two major 
deaths through Harry's eyes, and I know it is time for the cannon 
fodder to be used. Some included in this list, but not limited to 
are Charlie, Percy, and Ginny Weasley, the Hogwarts professors 
(excluding Hagrid), all of the international wizards we have met 
(including Fluer), the Dursleys (because either Miss Figg or Mr. 
Filtch will show the latent magical ability we are all looking for), 
the Malfoy family, and finally Hermione. Maybe it is just my 
maleness, but I want to see blood in this last book. I am a fan of 
anything but the "Happily ever after" ending because I want the 
story to be true to life (as much as possible with fantasy writing) 
and not a fairy tale. 
5) There is an underlying connection between Snape and Lily. If we 
conclude that those in the same year always have certain classes 
with other houses each year of their education, we can conclude that 
Snape and Lily were probably in the same potions class for their 
stay at Hogwarts. Harry and the Gryffindors have had potions with 
the Slytherins all of their years are Hogwarts, and for tradition 
sake, let's say it was the same way in Lily's time. Do you think the 
two brightest stars in a Slughorn class on potions, would lack a 
relationship? I think not. Maybe Lily helped Snape too much and that 
is why he refused her help in the pensive scene. Whatever it is, I 
do not know.
6) Through the rereading of the books I feel, like all of you, that 
I have some idea as to what will happen. These feelings come from 
the general tone and direction of the books, and from this general 
view of the wizarding world, I would argue that there is a huge 
battle coming. We will see both sides accruing forces, and Harry's 
force will not be large enough. It will come down to some strategic 
battle plans by Ron (whose chess skills will come in handy again) 
and Harry facing Voldemort directly to end the conflict swiftly. 
This united magical brethren on Harry's side will fight admirably 
but it will come down to Harry to strike the final blow and leave 
the enemy without a leader to marshal the troops as it were. 
7)  The room of love will have to come into play somewhere, along 
with the veil. These two mysteries need to be answered before the 
end of the story. It maybe both on the same night, with Harry 
unlocking the room of love and using it's power to call upon his 
loved one's spirits to come beyond the veil and carry back with them 
Lord Voldemort's final piece of his soul. The two are interconnected 
I am sure of it. 
8) Voldemort is going to hear the prophecy at last, and it will not 
help him. Trelawney will die, but all Voldemort will get from her 
death is the idea that Harry can kill him, and all Voldemort has to 
blame is himself for choosing Harry; thus creating a fear of Harry 
when Voldemort and he square off. 
9) Now the most important questioning my eyes, is if Snape is DD's 
man. Reluctantly I would have to say that Snape is indeed DD's man. 
Snape simply had too many chances after he killed DD to also kill 
Harry. I know he stopped attacks because  Potter was for the 
DarkLord, but if a murderous desouled scumbag really wants someone 
killed he will not care who kills the person. Snape in my eyes is 
actually trying to give Harry hints as to how he can defeat the Dark 
Lord such as by keeping his mind closed. 
10) Fawkes will assist Harry in the end because it is DD's and Harry 
is DD's man. 
That's 10 and I have more but this post is far too long as it is
Have a great night 

John (who would go into thousands of dollars of debt right now to 
know if just one of his predictions is right, it doesn't even matter 
if he know which is right)
