Who do you think will die in the last book?.

1.  I believe that Hagrid will die, mostly because of the alchemical theme that
has been running through the series.  The three stages of alchemical
purification/transformation are (in order) the Black, the White, and the Red
(which is the reason for the colors of the caps worn by Scottish Rite Masons,
BTW).  So far, we have lost Sirius BLACK and ALBUS Dumbledore; logically, RUBEUS
Hagrid should come next.

2.  Of the Weasleys, I think that Fred is going to die at least.  Why Fred?
Because of the name.  JKR chooses names quite deliberately.  King George III,
the one who lost the American colonies, was not supposed to have been King; he
had an older brother, Frederick, Prince of Wales, who died from being hit on the
head by a cricket ball, leaving as his next heir the infant Princess Sophia who
died quite young, I believe she didn't see five.  Princess Sophia's heir was her
uncle, Prince George, who became King George III.  Hence, when we have Frederick
& George, whose eldest brothers are William & Charles, and whose father is
Arthur, we see a definite pattern of British royalty here.
