I'm betting Hagrid gets the reprieve.  He's just too cute and 
lovable to kill off.

The final scene will be Hagrid, Grawp, Dobby, and Winky getting 
Hogwarts back on its feet after the apocalypse.  Molly Weasley will 
be Minister for Magic.

I think JKR's comment about 'hate mail' if she reveals who her 
targets are is weird.  Like, of course she'd have been only too 
happy to oblige if she had a *reasonable* fandom.  She's probably 
wishing she'd written Pride and Prejudice instead.  Curse that 
Austen woman for getting her plagiarism in first!
