My entry in the Ultimate and Last Bragging Rights contest by 
TigerPatronus:

1. Will Harry die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?
Yes.

2. Will Voldemort die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?
Yes.

3. Excluding Harry and Voldemort, who will be the most prominent
character to die and stay dead?
Remus Lupin.

4. From HBP (p125, American Hardcover), in the shop while the trio
were listening with Extendable Ears, what did Draco show Borgin that
scared him?
The Dark Mark on his arm.

5. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will return as a
student, which means enrolled in classes whether or not they attend
the classes (answer yes or no for each):
a. Harry? No. 
b. Draco? No.
c. Hermione? Yes.
d. Luna? Yes.
e. Ron? Yes.
f. Neville? Yes.
g. Ginny? Yes.

6. Which will be the most prominent couple to marry, if any, during
the time period covered in DH, excluding any epilogue?
Bill and Fleur.

7. Who will be the unusual person who performs magic for the first
time "very late in life?"
Vernon Dursley. 

8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the:
a. Head Boy? Ron Weasley.
b. Head Girl? Hermione Granger.

d. Potions Master or Mistress? Horace Slughorn.
e. Headmaster or -mistress? Minerva McGonagall.

9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie?
Dumbledore.

10. Identify the seven Horcruxes. (If you think there are more or
less than seven, write "n/a" or add extra letters as necessary.
Horcruxes in previous books and previously inactivated Horcruxes
must be identified for full credit. If you think one of the soul
pieces is in Voldemort so there are six external Horcruxes plus the
bit still in him, then write "In Voldemort" for one of the answers.)

a. Riddle's diary.
b. Gaunt's ring.
c. Slytherin's locket.
d. Hufflepuff's cup.
e. Something of Ravenclaw's, possibly the wand on display in 
Ollivander's shop window.
f. Harry.
g. Nagini.


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: unicorn.
Boggert: Voldemort.

Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?
The room where they study love. 


Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.

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. Harry will hear a voice inside his head and will even have entire 
conversations with this voice. This voice will reveal itself to be 
the Horcrux part of Voldemort inside Harry. 

We will also find out that the Horcrux part inside Harry already 
talked to Harry when Harry was very small, and at one time was 
Harry's only childhood friend.

2. We will find out that the Horcrux part inside Harry has been 
actively trying to influence Harry's life over the past seven years. 
The Horcrux part inside Harry tried to get Harry to transfer to 
Slytherin in PS and COS, it tried to get Harry to kill Sirius in POA, 
it tried to get Harry to keep Sirius away in GOF, and it tried to get 
Harry to break with his friends in OOTP. 

3. At the end of the book the Horcrux part inside Harry will return 
to Voldemort, and as a result Voldemort will become truly alive and 
mortal again. 

Unfortunately Harry most likely will have to die before this return 
of the Horcrux part inside Harry can take place. When the Horcrux 
part inside Harry does return to Voldemort it will take with it 
everything it experienced while it was trapped inside Harry, 
including the love Harry experienced for the people around him. And 
it is this love that will ultimately make Voldemort truly alive 
again. 

In this respect Sirius' death will also be revealed to be very 
significant. Sirius' death is what made the Horcrux part inside Harry 
see the error of its ways.

4. We will find out that Peter Pettigrew was not the spy. Peter did 
not voluntarily go to Voldemort with the information about the 
Potters, Voldemort forced the information out of Peter after he was 
betrayed by the real spy. 

The real spy will be revealed to be Remus Lupin's werewolf form. 
Lupin who also is a Legilimens and has been keeping this a secret. 

5. We will finally find out why Dumbledore did not need a cloak to 
become invisible in PS... he had asked all the portraits in Hogwarts 
to keep an eye on Harry and report everything Harry did back to the 
portraits in his study.
