Pippin proposed a list of subplots currently left hanging:
> Harry/horcrux/RAB/prophecy/Voldemort death
> Why did Voldie try to spare Lily?
> Which side is Snape really on/what happened on the tower?
> Snape and Lupin patronus and/or boggart
> Harry/Ron/Hermione/Neville career plans/NEWTs
> Fate of Draco Malfoy
> Fate of Dolores Umbridge
> Fate of Percy
> Trio romances
> Do any of the creatures Luna believes in actually exist?
> Lupin/Tonks
> Fleur/Bill wedding
> The prank
> Dobby/Kreacher/SPEW/House Elf liberation
> Grawp does something useful
> Flying car/motorcycle/Fluffy and other forest exiles
> Hagrid/Maxime
> Fate of the founders/Houses unite
> What does Petunia know/what is Dudley's dementor memory

And SSSusan added: 
> What happened at Godric's Hollow/Who was there?/How did DD discover 
the attack?
> What happened during the missing 24 hours?
> What are the 12 uses of dragon's blood?
> Why are eyes/glasses the key to Harry's vulnerability?
> What's become of Fortesque & Ollivander?

I'm in a rush, too, but several non-human subplots occurred to me:
Will the goblins fight?  For which side?  (And if not, why the 
constant goblin references in History of Magic?)
What, exactly, have the centaurs predicted regarding Harry?  And will 
they act on it? 
Will we see Norbert again?

And, some on humans/ part-humans
Will Lupin somehow get revenge (or something) on Fenrir Greyback?
Will Alice & Frank Longbottom ever recover?  (I know the Blowing Gum 
wrappers didn't pan out, but that doesn't mean there's no cure. I've 
always liked the theory that the Death Eaters are somehow keeping the 
Longbottoms insane -- Lucius and his large donations to St Mungo's 
can't be purely altruistic, can they?)

There's also a bunch of Death Eaters whose fates are unknown, but I'm 
not sure they're important enough to worry about.

Viktor Krum's story has also been left hanging, but JKR says he'll be 
back in Book 7, so hopefully she's get that subplot planned out.

Ask for "Why are eyes/glasses the key to Harry's vulnerability?", 
Susan, I didn't take JKR's comment on Harry's glasses as meaning that 
his eyes or glasses have some sort of magical vulnerability.  I just 
thought she liked the glasses because they show he is ultimately a 
regular boy, not a superhero.
