Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.

1. Madam Pince is Snape's mother, who's been living under Dumbledore's
protection ever since Voldemort thought she had been killed by Snape,
to prove his loyalty to the dark lord. Her rescue is the reason for
Snape's unbending obedience to Dumbledore.

2. Hagrid's dragon, Norbert, will return with a hoard of his relatives
to turn the tide in a critical battle in the last book, possibly
neutralizing the edge that Voldemort enjoys since winning over the giants.

3. Wormtail will use his silver hand to kill the werewolf Greyback
when he is about to chew on Harry's neck.

4. Aberforth was instructed by Dumbledore to buy anything that
Mundungus tried to fence from Sirius' house. He has one of the 
Horcruxes.

5. Mister Borgin was taken from his shop by Dumbledore so Voldemort
couldn't capture him and find out that he was feeding info to the
Order about Draco's plot. Dumbledore couldn't let Voldy find out that
the Order knew all about the unbreakable vow.
