Celia predicts:
I have been off the list for two weeks in fear of spoilers, and am not checking it now- I 
don't even know if any rules have changed in this or what, but I'm going to submit my 
entry anyway. I solemnly swear that I am unspoiled


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

Even though a little part of me will die too, I think it will be Snape. Guh.

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? 

His Dark Mark.

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? Yes
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?" 
	Aunt Petunia (still holding out for the Feb. 29th, 11th birthday and Hogwart's letter 
for Petunia- thanks, very old theory of Elisabet's)

8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will
be the: 
a. Head Boy? Ron
b. Head Girl? Hermione
c. DADA Instructor? Aberforth Dumbledore
d. Potions Master or Mistress? Slughorn
e. Headmaster or -mistress? McGonagall

9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie? 
		Loyal to the end, to Dumbledore, of course

10. Identify the seven Horcruxes. 
a. Diary (destroyed)
b. Slytherin's Locket (Mundungus has it)
c. Hufflepuff's Cup (in Gringott's)
d. Ravenclaw's wand that is with Olivander
e. The Ring (destroyed)
f. In Harry (was supposed to be implanted in the Gryffindor item, possibly the invisibility 
cloak? But went in Harry instead)
g. In Voldie

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? 
	Um
Patronus: Phoenix  Boggart: Himself, killing Lily
   
Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry 
of Magic?  

Lots of little cut out paper hearts and small chalky candies proclaiming the power of LOVE. 
Real answer: When you walk into the room, you reunite with all of those who truly love/
loved you. Very dangerous, like the Mirror of Erised, only much more real.
  

Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory
Question section.

Neville will capture Bellatrix during the final battle, using some sort of herbology 
knowledge to do it.

All of the Weasley brothers various skills will be used in the horcrux hunt. Bill will break a 
horcrux curse, Charlie will provide a dragon, Percy (now doubting his loyalties) will sneak 
them into the Ministry, Fred and George will have some useful products, and Ron, of 
course, will be there the whole time.

Snape is either directly or indirectly responsible for Regulus Black's death. Regulus was his 
friend, and causing his death was one of the reasons Snape switched sides during VW1.

Peter Pettigrew will die in some manner that gives him a bit of honor. Perhaps he dies 
saving Ron? Pay back for the rat years? Nah, most likely he dies saving Harry, what with the 
whole life debt thing.

And I can't resist: My old theory gets out for one last spin, I'm loyal to this until the end

I believe that Voldie/Tom did a bit of time turning while he was traveling the earth 
becoming evil, and at some point was the "traveler" who gave Aragog's egg to Hagrid 
when Hagrid was 13. He was also able to manipulate his younger self towards the Dark 
Arts (maybe he was the person who told himself to ask Slughorn about horcruxes?) and 
this period of time turning may be important to locating the horcruxes.
