JKR claimed in a recent interview she has at least two deaths in mind, though she might be trying to mess with our heads again. (See BBC News web link below.)
My guesses are:
- One close friend: betting on Ron.
- Harry himself... although not necessarily "final" death.
I'm also betting Dumbledore has pulled an Elvis and faked his own death to get tactical advantage, but he might die "properly" this time.
(Clue: in Goblet Of Fire, it's specifically stated that an incredibly strong force of will has to be behind an Unforgivable Curse for it to work. Speaking the words alone won't do it. Of course, this does raise the problem of how Snape would escape the Oath.)

As much as I don't like it, I think it is totally possible that J.K. Rowling might kill off Harry. If you remember the article, she said that there is a good side to killing off your main character. When she is dead and gone, no one will be able to come back and write Harry because he already died; it would be satisfactory to know that no one will come back and take over you masterpiece.
Here is a list of people besides Harry that I think might perish.
Ron: Besides being Harry's best mate, we haven't really seen him prove himself in times of danger and battle. He showed his strengths back in Book 1 when during the giant chess match during the hunt for the Philosopher's Stone. There is a theory that Ron will sacrifice himself for Harry in the final match against Voldemort.
Pettigrew: Do I have to explain it? Let's see... He betrayed the Potters, he helped Voldemort get his body back, and is an all-around bad guy. I think it's time to go, and that the life-debt that he has to Harry will be involved somehow.
Draco: I think that apart from being "bad", Draco is really a tragic character. His family are Death Eaters. He's got a lot to live up to. I got the kind of feeling that he was forced in the Book 6 to serve Voldemort. All the stress he underwent, the frustration, the anxiety... I mean, the poor boy was misguided. Remember that he is only about 17. People can make horrible mistakes when they are at that age. Unfortunately in Draco's case, it might cost him his life. He's in too deep.
Professor Trelawney: I think there is a possibility of her death in Book 7. She's always predicting how people will die, and seeing strange, dark omens everywhere. I think that is a kind of subtle foreshadowing. She sees death everywhere, why can't it be hers? I just wonder how this would play out, and how important it would be to the actual plot.
Percy: Hmm... Anyone sure which side he is really on?
Who will get a reprieve? (JKR said in a very recent interview that she gave a certain character a reprieve from dying) I have an inkling that it is one of the Dursleys.... or Snape.

I think Harry Potter will. It's the ingredient of all classics. I heard that he'll die at the hands of Ron. Don't know if that's true, because it was also said in the book, according to the prophecy, that only Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter could kill the other. I also think Snape will die due to Harry finally outwitting him. It's pretty obvious. Or maybe Neville Longbottom will kill Snape, because Snape always picks on him and Neville shows potential. I can't wait until it comes out!!

Does it matter? There won't be any more books after that anyway.
