Specificity will be rewarded. Brevity is . . . wit.
I swear I have not read any of the EPILOGUE SPOILER that has been discussed on this list. --- Kelly

Compulsory Questions (50 points total):
If you believe the answer to a question is a new character,
write "new character" *and* describe relationships to old characters
or characteristics of new character for full credit.
1. Will Harry die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?
No
2. Will Voldemort die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?
No, but he will be powerless to use his magical ability.
3. Excluding Harry and Voldemort, who will be the most prominent
character to die and stay dead?
Minerva MacGonagall
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
5. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will return as a
student (answer yes or no for each):
a. Harry? Yes - but will leave often on horcrux hunts
b. Draco? No
c. Hermione? Yes, but will leave only once before the end on the school year.
d. Luna? Yes
e. Ron? Yes, but will leave sometimes with Harry on horcrux hunts
f. Neville? Yes
g. Ginny? Yes
6. Which will be the most prominent couple to marry in DH, if any?
Bill and Fleur -- but their original wedding date will be post-phoned due to an attack on Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
7. Who will be the unusual person who performs magic for the first
time "very late in life?"
Mrs. Figg, although I really want it to be Dudley --- just to rub it in his father's face.
8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the:
a. Head Boy? Ron
b. Head Girl? Hermione
c. DADA Instructor? New Character
d. Potions Master or Mistress? Slughorn
e. Headmaster or -mistress? MacGonagall
9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie? With 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. Diary
b. Ring
c. Tom Riddle's Prefect Badge
d. Slytherin's Locket
e. Tom Riddle's Award for Special Services
f. In Voldemort
g. N/A -- was going to be made with the death of Baby Harry, but never happened
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?
Snape's Patronus is a bat.
Snape's boggert is Harry failing. Snape has no feelings for Harry one way or the other, he just needs him to get rid of LV now that LV has made him the chosen one.
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.
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. Dumbledore's big mistake was that there are 7 horcruxes, related to the four founders. Tom Riddle was to smug to put his soul into objects of people he loathed. Instead he used objects of his Slytherin heritage and of his own rise to power (prefect, head boy). Harry will waste valuable time on this, but Hermione will figure it all out. Thankfully they will only have to find 3 not 4 horcruxes.
2. Snape turned on LV when he found out LV was going to act on the Prophecy, a strict no-no in the magical world. Snape told Lily what was about to happen and how to protect Harry. He knew the ancient magic needed to do it. Lily trusted Snape enough to die for her son and hoped to save the Wizarding World by doing so. No one else knew about this, not James, not even Dumbledore.
3. The scar came from Lily's sacrifice, not the AK from Voldemort, and has protected Harry all along. The charm runs out on Harry's 17th birthday, but the scar will remain as a reminder of his mother's love. Harry, of course, will not know this until Snape tells him. Snape will also give him the information he needs to rid the WW of LV. This will be the moment Harry trusts Snape, finally realizing Snape was on the side of the Order and was in fact DDM.
4. Lily invented the disappearing charm "evanesco".
5. MacGonagall will die near the end of the book, opening the door for the new Headmaster -- Severus Snape.
