OK, I'm going to open the discussion of longshot theories for things that will happen in DH. What I mean are events which are not likely, but you can find the kind of "obvious in hindsight" foreshadowing in the canon that JKR commonly uses.

I'll start the ball rolling by repeating MY longshot prediction that the "Deathly Hallows" refer to cries from beyond the veil, including Sirius' (whose body went there with him). 

Here's another: Canon has shown Percy to be obsessed with obeying the rules imposed by authority. Notice that he breaks off from his family when they, themselves, defy the Ministry of Magic. Although we are told more than shown, Molly appears to be a bit of a control freak herself. Also, perhaps Percy was made to feel responsible for Fred & George (being the next older brother), but that's pure conjecture, with no canon support, although F&G's behavior could be seen as a revolt against following rules, combined with a strong sense of right and wrong. Longshot prediction: Percy will die, heroically, BECAUSE of his obsession with following the rules.
