Charles:

You just gave me a flash. Remember that at the end of HBP, we are 
about an hour away from the boarding of the Hogwarts Express, with 
Harry poised to enjoy one last peaceful day with Ron and Hermione. It 
is no great stretch to see book 7 opening with someone hurrying across 
the lawn to tell them that the headmistress wants to see them in her 
office. As they come up the spiral staircase, MM welcomes them in and 
tells them DD's portrait has awakened and we see a scene with DD 
filling Harry in on a couple of things he didn't dare say when he was 
alive-the exact timeline of prophecy night at the Hog's Head, exactly 
why the death of a childhood enemy and his wife would be Snape's 
greatest regret, etc.

I can also see there possibly being a three-cornered argument with DD, 
MM, and the Trio about horcrux hunting and Harry's plans for the next 
year-possibly with Harry laying down the prophecy as a trump card over 
either DD's portrait or MM.

Charles, who really hopes he just saw the future, because that's a 
scene he's dying to read.
