> Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

1. Harry having Lily's eyes will be central to DH as Harry learns 
more about Lily's life and how he shares his 'saving people thing' 
with her.  He'll learn (via Lupin is my guess) that Lily worked at 
the DOM studying the locked room.  Harry will be able to open the 
door at some critical moment when he learns to feel compassion toward 
his 'enemy', Snape.

2. Harry will have a soul piece that isn't a Horcrux because it 
doesn't anchor Voldemort to life.

3. Dumbledore is Heir of Gryffindor.  Spending his life defeating 
Dark Lords will be rooted in his past, a trauma in his own family 
which he was replaying when he drank the potion in the cave.  

4.  Voldemort will attempt to lure Harry using his hatred of Snape 
against him, much as he used his love for Sirius in OOTP.  It's just 
what the Dark Lord does!

5.  Irma Pince is Eileen Prince, hidden at Hogwarts by Dumbledore.

Two more for fun (because I'm attached to them):

1) Dobby's hand-made Snitch socks will help Harry at some pivotal 
moment and he will be oh-so-surprised Harry didn't realize they had 
magical powers!

2) Luna will prove to be related to Ollivander and apprentice in the 
family business making wands, discovering new wand cores from 
interestin' creatures.

Jen, wishing she had good predictions for Snape's turn to Voldemort 
and return to Dumbledore but finding her tarot cards unreliable at 
the moment.
