Alternate 1. What are Snape's patronus and boggert?

A bat and a Phoenix. 

Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?

The simple answer is love, a more complete answer is The Right Stuff
(see Tom Wolf).

Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.

1) Percy will become A Death Eater and betray Harry; he will be killed
by a member of his own family.

2) Harry's Patronus will change from a stag to a Phoenix. 

3) Regardless of whether he is one or not at some point Harry will
think he's a Horcrux. 

4) Snape will turn out to be a much better person than Snape haters
like me once thought him to be, but not quite as good as the Snape
lovers think he is. For example, years ago Snape made an unbreakable
vow to save the life of Harry Potter, but he did it for his own less
than noble reasons. 

5) Harry will produce with Ginny Harry Potter Junior, although he will
not live to see the child. 

6) Regardless of whether he is good or evil at some point Harry and
Snape will have a duel and Harry will knock him on his ass.
