Any ideas on what will happen? Any spoilers?

No spoilers, but here are 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). Also, were that the case, Harry can't vanquish Voldemort unless he let Voldemort cast a death spell at him, then cast one of his own at Voldemort, because all the horcruxes have to be destroyed before Voldemort can die.
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. About Deaths: First, we are assuming that either Harry or Voldemort dies. I believe that Harry lives, because it is a children's/YA series after all and the central character of such series never die, JKR will not buck that canon. Otherwise: My handicapping, in order of likelihood (IMHO):
Ron, Percy, Pettigrew, Fred/George, Neville, Lupin, Hagrid, Hermione, Petunia, Dudley, Tonks, Mr./Mrs. Weasley, Malfoy, Ginny, Bill, Fleur, Luna, Snape.
8. 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

If you want to found out what will Happen to Harry and other things relating to book 7, you should go to a fan-site (Mugglenet.com) or buy the book "What Will Happen In Harry Potter 7".

Personally I don't think she will kill him off , because it would destroy the whole point of the books , good against evil. Having Voldemort triumphant and winning would be the worst possible ending anyone could come up with. Also I think it would anger billions of people around the world.
I think perhaps Ron or Hermione will die , I don't really see the trio making it out alive and I am certain that Snape will be back and will do something to show he's not 100% bad.
But as for now ; we'll just have to wait and see!

Harry Potter is the main and most beloved character of the Harry Potter books. So I doubt he will be killed off.
Although maybe he will be, because that is the only way to get rid of Voldemort.
Maybe JK Rowling will come up with something really unexpected and riveting that will leave us content at the end.
I heard on the news that she was going to write another book after the seventh one...o_O?

I think he will grow up and live a happy peaceful life in fictionland.
The kid deserves it.
No spoilers! Jo has asked them not to be spread.
From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18660187/
Rowling pleads for no spoilers for final Potter
Author says leaks don’t hurt sales, but they do hurt readers’ pleasure
“We’re a little under three months away, now, and the first distant rumblings of the weirdness that usually precedes a Harry Potter publication can be heard on the horizon,” Rowling wrote on her Web site Monday.
“I want the readers who have, in many instances, grown up with Harry, to embark on the last adventure they will share with him without knowing where they are they going.”
Theories are not spoilers, and I will share those

Someone told me that they read the mugglenet book on what will happen in book 7 and JKR was quoted saying that Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were NOT gonna die.

I did not think he would at all, but I am now beginning to think that there is a good chance he will because commentators have been suggesting he would be, so no one else can write about him in the future. I really hope he isn't killed off though.
I didn't think **** would be killed off in book 6, but was, so I guess anything can happen........
Can't wait to read it but will be really sad to have finished the series because it has been so exiting, all the suspense and guessing what will happen in the next one.

I don't think she will kill Harry off. She said once that she wouldn't want the hate mail. Barely anyone knows.
