lizzyben:

Well I had hits & misses:

- Dumbledore is an evil Puppetmaster who uses & exploits his
followers. I'm calling this a hit. :)

- Dumbledore leaked the prophecy on purpose. Debatable, but since he
knew Snape was a DE in the very next scene... hit.

- DD's Plan involves sacrificing Harry's life for the "greater good".
 Hit. I couldn't believe it when DD actually used that phrase.

- DD set up Godric's Hollow to get a Chosen One & defeat LV. Miss,
though I still have my paranoid doubts.

- Snape is "Lily's Man, through & through" - hit, though I didn't
expect it to be as pathetic & cringe-worthy as it was!

- Snape will cry. And again, cringe-worthy.

- House Unity. MISS. Moving on...

Biggest misses:

- Harry will drink the Draught of Living Death. Nope, that potion
never really played a role in the plot, did it?
- The final face-off will take place in Hogwart's Quidditch stadium.
Because cover sort of looks like a stadium, & Harry's maybe reaching
for a snitch... never mind.
- Snape will have a heroic, redemptive death, like Sydney Carton in
Tale of Two Cities. *Sigh* If only. 

Biggest hit:

- Harry will successfully use an Unforgivable Curse. Quite a few,
actually!
