What are some predictions you have for the upcoming Harry Potter book?

Question

I'd love to hear what you guys think. And I can't WAIT until July!! I have the counter for the Order of the Phoenix movie and Deathly Hallows. :D Oh yeah, if you have a website with your predictions on it, either copy/paste or gimme a link. Cpoy/Pasting is preferred though. :P

Answer 1

1. Harry is not a horacrux!
2. Pettigrew still has a debt to Harry and that debt will be collected upon.
3. Neville will find his strength and confidence.
4. Bill Weasley's marriage will be the scene of a big fight, and maybe the death of one of the major characters.
5. Draco Malfoy will not be a major factor, unless he admits to himself that he is in over his head with the Deatheaters and turns coats.
6. We will find out that Harry is Dumbledore's heir, and among the things he gets is the pensieve and a bunch of very instructive memories.
7. Finally, about Snape:
Snape is Snape. He is beyond the sort of simplistic categorization as "good" or "evil", IMHO. I do believe he is not as evil as he appeared at the end of HBP. It would take too much space to really go into this in detail, but consider this:

It is well known that Snape played the double-agent prior to the death of Harry's parents, and there is no reason to believe he wasn't still a double agent on the anti-Voldemort side. Why then did he bind himself to the success of Draco's mission and then actually kill Dumbledore?
My answer: Dumbledore knew that destroying Slytherin's ring had fatally wounded him and Snape knew so too. Therefore he allowed himself to be bound to Dumbledore"s death, a death he knew was imminent and against which he knew Dumbeldore had taken precautions to ensure that his death would not derail the anti-Voldemort movement.

Now, on the other hand, if Snape has turned coats; why did he not kill Harry* or disable him and take him helpless to Voldemort? JKR made it clear that Harry is no match for Snape as a wizard (yet). If you look at Snapes "taunts" at Harry and put them into anyone else's mouth, they're very good advice on what Harry needs yet to learn to fight strong adult wizards on anything like equal terms.
My answer is that Dumbledore at some point shortly after Harry was orphaned made Snape take an unbreakable vow to protect Harry. This fits in perfectly with Snape's actions toward Harry in the books thus far. Yes, Snape is a mean SOB to Harry, but that is Snape's personality, and he didn't vow to be nice to Harry after all.

My conclusion is that in Book Seven, Snape will act covertly and eventually overtly to aid Harry, that he will likely live, and that Harry will be just as in the dark over Snape's motivations as when Harry entered Hogwarts. (BTW, the above is why I don't think Harry will die. If I'm right, then Snape dies too if Harry dies, and Snape is the ultimate survivor).

*My reading of the prophecy is that there is no requirement that either has to directly kill the other, just that one no longer lives, so I think Snape certainly could have killed Harry and talked his way out of it afterwards

Answer 2

OH MY GOSH, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK THIS!!!!
Anyways, I think that Harry is not the Chosen One. Yes, I know, he's been marked and everything, but, come on, Neville's been marked emotionally. It's really personal with Neville because he knew his parents before and now he has to watch them suffer from insanity while Harry just lost his parents and gained a scar. The Dark Lord marked Neville as an equal, or whatever the prophecy says, because Voldemort had gone through major pain, too. He knew hurt.
I don't know about anything else. You never do with J.K. Rowling.

Answer 3

I predict that it will make JK Rowling very much richer. So rich that the Queen might have to ask her for a loan. Pax - C

Answer 4

Right here is where I found stuff that WILL for sure happen
