Horcruxes in previous books and previously inactivated Horcruxes

In case Hogwarts does not reopen, or in case we do not have
sufficient information to answer #5 and #8 above, these two
alternate questions will used in place of #5 and #8, above. If #5
and #8 are sufficiently answered in DH, the alternate questions will
be used as tiebreakers.

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

Patronus: bat
Boggart: Lord Voldemort

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

Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.
 and survive.



Current Off-Limit Spoilers:
-- Predictions that describe any the covers are worth 0 points
unless they include specific information not obvious in the cover.
-- SPOILER: Kreacher will be in DH. (David Yates, interview.) (Note:
because we are pretty sure that Kreacher will figure at least
somewhat prominently in DH, any predictions about his presence on a
cover will also be worth 0 points.)
-- The probable identity of "R.A.B." as stumbled around by JKR
during Leaky / Mugglenet interview will earn 0 points.
-- Predictions based on "Gabriel the Hacker" are allowed but we will
laugh at you when they're wrong.
-- Anything stupidly obvious (e.g., Harry will turn 17, Ron and
Hermione will date, Voldemort is evil, someone will perform magic,)
will be worth 0 points, at most. Negative points are possible.
-- "Negative" predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* come
skipping into Hogwarts offering free pony rides," will receive no
credit.
-- Only your first 5 predictions will be evaluated and included in
your score. Extra predictions may be marveled at but will not be
scored.

1. Snape will sacrifice his life to save Harry
2. Kreacher helped Regulus and helped him drink the green potion in the cave
3. A dementor will provide the Dementor's Kiss to Voldemort after Harry has
