Predicted, wanted and got::

Snape did it all for Lily
Ron and Hermione live
RAB = Regulus (honestly, was *anyone* surprised by this? - I mean apart from HRH)
Neville is amazing
Horcrux!Tiara in the RoR
An attack at the wedding
DD was dying and Snape killed him by request
Horcrux!Harry
Ollivander held hostage by LV
Aberforth doing something important
Sirius' mirror makes a reappearance 


Predicted and didn't get:

Snape dying while heroically saving Harry or some other student
Harry dies (I like that he didn't, but I really thought he would)
Final battle would be at MoM with either the Veil or the Love Room finishing off LV
Everyone but Harry back at Hogwarts for Year 7
Lots of scenes of students and professors helping Harry as he comes back off and on
Hagrid dies heroically in battle
DD was dying from that stuff he drank
Snape on the run
Draco and Narcissa in hiding (possibly with Snape)
Someone - anyone! - hiding at Godric's Hollow who saw and heard what happened
Luna's smarts being significant in finding/destroying a horcrux
Weasley's Wizard Wheezes being more important and useful in fighting Death Eaters than 
just puking
Wormtail's silver hand kills Greyback (corny yes, but I thought she'd do it)
Lily's importance being something more than just a motivation for Snape (I thought she 
was possibly working on the Love/Afterlife connection in the Dept of Mysteries)
LV offering to spare Lily for some reason other than Snape (see above)
Something significant about Petunia's communications with DD
Krum as DADA teacher

Absolutely surprised by:

Ministry's quick and complete take-over of Hogwarts
Snape as headmaster
LV moving in with the Malfoys
The Deathly Hallows 
DD being buddies with Grindelwald
DD being such a B******
Lupin being such a B******
Kreacher being cute
Dudley being cute
Harry using a Crucio (not a pleasant surprise)
The horrifying snake in Bathilda - still causing nightmares
All the Polyjuice - I thought she was done with that plot device

So, I didn't do so well in the predictions!  I liked that I was surprised so often.
