Hi desertskieswoman!  I'm a relative newbie, too!  

Among the adults: I agree that Hagrid's likely to bite it.  He's got a 
personal grudge to settle with Tom Riddle that pre-dates all the 
Voldemort evilness.  I hope that some of that history plays a part in 
Book 7.  Additionally, Aussie said a while back that he'd like to see 
Norbert leading a flying armada and carrying Hagrid into battle... I 
will cling to this hope now until the very last page of Book 7.  I 
also think that Voldemort will die, and probably Snape.  Also, maybe 
Percy Weasley.  I think Remus, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and McGonnegal 
will come out of it okay, but Flitwick and Slughorn might be doomed.  
No real justification there, just a hunch.

Among the kids, I think the most likely ones to die are Ginny, Draco, 
and Neville.  Here's hoping it's Draco, and that he dies fighting for 
the good side.  I also think that the Trio is likely to survive, 
mostly because - at its beginnings - this is a children's series, and 
it's just too cruel to tell the children of the world that if you 
stand up to evil, not only will all the adults who love you die, but 
so will your best friends.  Obviously that's way overstated, but I 
just don't think JKR will let Ron and Hermy go.  Harry has lost his 
mother, father, godfather, and mentor.  I think taking his best 
friends would send a pretty harsh message, and - being a mother 
herself - I just don't see JKR doing it.  Though, if she had to lose 
one - I'd pick Hermione.  I'd be devastated to lose Ron :)
