Things I wanted and got (what I was right about):
*DD had a plan (a laundry list of things to do althrough Book 6) and
Snape was in on it
*DD kept Snape's secrets
*Snape was (secretly) in love with Lily Potter
*Snape and Lily were friends
*Neville taking charge, in a leadership role.
*Another opportunity for Dobby to say "You must not harm Harry Potter"
*Narcissa's maternal instinct to protect Draco and her family.
*why DD wore the ring.
*Where Olivander went off to
*The DA and the Order will come together for one last fight against
Voldemort.
*The identity of R A B
*Ron and Hermione, I knew they's find a way.
*I knew we'd see the pensieve again, and it would reveal everything
about Snape.
*There was more to Snape's worst memory than just what Harry saw
James do to Snape.
*Harry was going to experience a problem coming to age.

Things I didn't get:
*The Malfoys; I thought they'd side with Voldemort till the bitter
end. They were there for their own reasons, not for Voldemort.
*I was sure the DE were going to finish off Voldemort.
*I didn't believe Harry was a Horcrux
*I didn't really believe Harry and Ginny's relationship.  I had to be
talked into it.
*I thought we'd hear from the Ford Anglia again.
*A final word on what happened to the Dursley's after leaving Privet
Dr.
*Kreature betray Harry.
*I thought the prophecy would actually turn out to be about Neville
and not Harry after all.
*Harry would find out his birthday was not really in July, but in the
Winter as asked by Trelawney.
