My best guesses:
1. Harry is not a horcrux! (This idea makes no sense in light of the prophesy for one, and why would Voldemort put part of his soul into someone he might have to fight anyway).
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 coat.
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

1. Harry will go to the Dursley's one last time, before he turns 17.
2. I have a feeling Hogwarts will re-open, but Harry, Ron and Hermione will not return.
3. Bill and Fleur's Wedding!!
4. Harry will visit Godric's Hollow.(Is Harry Godric Gryffindor's great grandson?)
5. What do you think is gonna be in Dumbledore's will??? (Sirius had one after all)
6. The hunt for the remaining horcruxes.
7. The "Snape debate" will finally be answered.
8. We'll find out who RAB is.
9. The epic Battle!!!
10. My death predictions: Voldemort, Snape(I think he'll turn out good and then be killed by the death eaters, he deserves it after killing Dumbledore) and Ginny(sobs...).
11. Ron and Hermione will get together and Hagrid and Madam Maxime.

This is sort of a wide-open question here. There are so many issues that this book will address that no one theory can cover it all.
However, I have a theory concerning Sirius' motorbike that I think holds water pretty well. I believe that it and Buckbeak the hippogriff are the same. Here's how my theory goes: Sirius owned a hippogriff that he transfigured into a motorbike, then lent said motorbike to Hagrid so that he could deliver Harry to the Dursleys. Hagrid kept the hippogriff (once it turned back into one) for twelve years, when it helped Sirius escape.
Why do I propose this? Two reasons, mainly: one, since JK Rowling did say that we would find out what happened to the motorbike; and two, because in Sirius' will he left Buckbeak to Harry. He wouldn't have been able to do such if he didn't own him in the first place.
Just a theory- and if it ends up happening that way, I thought of it first!

My theory?
That Harry kills Voldemort, but only with Snape's help, because... Snape loved his mother, and he's got his mother's eyes, which Rowling mentions in every book, and has said is vitally important. Hermione and Ron survive, but Hagrid doesn't, who Harry loves dearly.
She's also said that Voldemort is more evil in Book 7 than he was when he was in power years before, so yes, I think it will be a very dark novel. But Harry, Hermione and Ron survive, I think. Ginny I don't know. I doubt it.

My suspicion is Snape is a vampire. Read through the books again and list all of the references to looking like a big bat. He ALWAYS closes the windows as soon as he enters the dungeon. When he saw the Foe Glass it took him by surprise as if he had not seen his reflection in a while. He is a potions master so he could concoct a potion allowing him to go outside like he did with Lupin. And, in the third book he assigned the students to find the ways to tell a Werewolf to hint at Lupin being one. The next assignment Lupin gives is how to tell a Vampire. Coincidence?

it will be harry potter and lord voldemort that die
draco malfoy will be the one to kill harry
and because of the prophecy voldemort will die
because neither can live while the other survives
and that ginny will be taken hostage at somepoint in the book
also that harry might rely on the frame of dumbledore alot
and lastly neville will find put that it just as easily couldve been him in the position oh harry potter

I am worried it will be very dark; the books have been becoming less funny and more dark with every new year! I think Ron and Hermione will end up dating, although while the three are off looking for Voldemort, Ron will die. Sad, but it's my theory. What do you think will happen?

My theory -- Snape will still be with Lord Valdamort; Dumbledore is still ALIVE, Good will triumph over evil.
Harry will be killed.
Hermonine and Ron will become a couple and marry.
Hogwarts will continue,
