Just returned from holiday - no idea what all the fuss is about!! I 
would also like to add that it is particularly unfair that I have to 
pick my copy of book 7 up at midnight and thus will indoubtedly read 
into the small hours and be cranky for the rest of the weeked. 
Everyone on the other side of the pond get a good few hours of 
daylight to start of with!!

> 
> Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):
> 
> 1) The Dursley's will make some negative comment regarding DD 
(after his visit in HBP). Harry will get angry and reveal that a DD 
was killed by a teacher (specifically naming Snape). Petunia will 
eventually reveal that 'that awful boy' that Lily brought home was in 
fact Snape.
> 2) Snape will destroy the bulk of the Horcruxes. This is the reason 
for DD martyrdom - to allow Snape to gain the whereabouts of the 
Horcruxes from a trusting Voldemort.
> 3) Voldemort is still one Horcrux short. He will return to Hogwarts 
in an attempt to find one of Gryffindor's relics - probably the 
sword, but could be the sorting hat.
> 4) Lily was the one student who was nice to Snape. Snape 
specifically asked Voldemort to spare her (hence his constant 
attempts to get her to stand aside). This is the reasone for Snape's 
hatred of Voldemort (even stronger than his hatred of James).
> 5) Lord Voldemort was hoping to make the prophecy orb into a 
Horcrux using Harry's death. Now he will try again with Gryffindor's 
relic.
