Oh I can't STAND it!!  Why does she do this to us? ESE Rowling!!  
Better to say nothing.  *Nothing*!!.  My anxiety level is a 10+.  

Maybe it was Lupin that was spared because he now has a girlfriend.  
OR maybe it is *because* he has a girlfriend that there are 2 new 
ones to be killed off!!

Alright, deep breath...  She will spare us. Lupin has suffered 
enough, so we will be spared. Maybe it is because Lupin fell in love 
with me, I who was once the "chosen one" (to die) an now spared.  

Snape will die. Planned all along.???

There is just no way to guess this.  Whatever we guess it will be 
wrong. 

Options:
Lucius and Narcissa, leaving Draco an orphan.  Oh, how horrible that 
would be. No, she is not that evil. 

Bella: yes
LV: yes
Scrimgeour: yes
Firenze: yes
Hagrid: no
Weasleys: none
Hermione: no
Harry:  near death experience, but will live.
Dursley's: no
