I think that Hagrid and Fred will die.

Hagrid because of his first name--Rubeus. The third and final 
stage of alchemical transformation is the Rubendo, or Red Stage.  
The first two are the Nigrendo (Black) and the Albendo (White).  
So far we have had Sirius BLACK and ALBUS Dumbledore die.

Why Fred?  Look at the names in the Weasley family. Arthur, 
Mary (Molly), Charles, William, Percival, Frederick & George, 
Ronald, and Ginevra. Except for Percival and Ronald, those 
are all royal names. King George III--a name notorius to 
Americans--was not supposed to have been king. He had an 
older brother, Prince Frederick, who died from being hit 
on the head by a cricket ball, leaving an infant daughter, 
the Princess Sophie. Sophie died very young; I don't think 
she saw her fifth birthday. Hence, the next in line was her
uncle, her father's younger brother, Prince George, who in 
due time ascended the throne as King George III. (I've often 
speculated on how the Revolution might have gone differently 
if the colonists had been dealing with King Frederick or
Queen Sophie, rather than King George.)
