Quick_Silver:
I'll play this game too.

Things that I'm fairly confident about:

--Voldemort will be defeated utterly and Harry will survive.

--Snape is DDM. 

--Hermione and Ron will survive. 

Things that I'm semi-confident about:

--Draco will be a huge asset to the "good" side.

--Harry is not a horcrux.

--The Dementors will play a rather large role in DH and Snape's 
method of fighting them is most defiantly wrong or flawed in some way 
that will cost someone their life (Neville? Luna?). 

--The Weasley wedding will be disrupted in some manner...either by 
Death Eaters or an emergency of some sort. 

--Snape will survive. 

--The Prank was an attempt to kill Snape plain and simple. 

Things that I'd love to see (but probably won't happen):

--Harry kills Voldemort with an AK however because Harry was infected 
by a sliver of Voldemort's soul the soul splitting effects of AK cut 
the Voldemort out of Harry. 

--Harry realizes that Snape is good (on his own...no help from 
anyone) quite early in the book and shamelessly uses it to his 
personal advantage while Snape is totally unaware. 

--Snape isn't simply DDM he's....Marauder!Snape (loyal to the cause 
but independent and with his own code). 

--A quantity of Weasley's, at least one professor, and several 
students perish.

--Snape will be forced to eat a large quantity of crow about either 
Harry or James or both. In fact I'd settle for any humbling of 
Snape.
