> Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

 1.  The centaurs will join the OOP at a crucial moment, thereby
recreating the members of good forces as depicted in the brethern
fountain at MOM

 2.   Sirius, James, Lily and DD are behind the "white" veil
pictured in the US cover.  They will use their position from there,
combined with the power of love to defeat Voldy.

 3.   Trevor will be shown to be more than just a toad.

 4.   Peter Pettigrew will repay his debt to Harry by being
instrumental in saving Harry and crew at an important moment...but
not at the final showdown between Harry and Voldy.

 5.   Neville's parents will come out of their stupor in time to see
their son do incredibly brave feats of magic, and to possibly join
the fight.
