Brothergib;
Haven't got time to read through all the replies to find if this has 
already been done. The exact quote is;

"One character got a reprieve but I have to say two die that I did 
not intend to die." When asked if the dead characters were "much-
loved ones", she replied: "A price has to be paid. We are dealing 
with pure evil here. They don't target extras, do they? They go for 
the main characters. . . well, I do."

When I told my wife this she said that obviously the two death were 
Snape & Voldemort! Personally I would think that JKR perfectly 
intended to kill Snape & Voldemort right from the start. Therefore I 
am inclined to believe that the reprieve may be for Snape.

Is it also more likely that the two she had not intended to kill, die 
at the same time? If that is the case, the most obvious pair would be 
Fred & George! Yes I can see Fred & George performing some ridiculous 
act of bravery and getting themselves killed.

Brothergib (who still thinks that Snape would be an incredibly boring 
character if he were ESE!)
