I personally think that Snape is out for himself. Up until the end of the last book he has played the two sides very well. He would end up on the winning side no matter what and he used Voldemort and Dumbledore's trust to illiminate his own enemies. I do believe that we need to watch out for him. As for whether his hand was forced to one side or the other is yet to be determined, but I don't think he really wanted to kill Dumbledore. Only at that point, he had no choice. I do also think that Voldemort really wants to kill Harry himself still. This may be why Snape did not kill Harry. The questions surrounding all of this will surely be answered and I think he will die in the end.
I think the school will reopen. Afterall it is the seventh year and seventh book. But in typical fashion Harry will have some adventure before school starts. That is when I think he will go to Godric's Hallow. He probably won't learn everything about his family there. I might create more questions rather than answers. Also, I think he will go stay with the Dursley's until his birthday. He needs that magical protection that Dumbledore wanted him to have. While there I'm sure we will get much better answers to Petunia's role. Like what was Dumbledore's last? She seems to know more than she lets on.
I think that the Longbottoms and Neville have a role in this one. I really think that Malfoy may be donating money to the hospital in order to keep them under wraps. And what nurse would not recognize a deadly plant? I think that Neville will become stronger still and will eventually overcome his previous faults.
I think Harry's scar will play a role in the very end. I also think that the statue at the fountain in the ministry is a scene in the book.
Those are just a few.

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).

I don't want to really get into all my views right now, but I know that I definately don't want Ron, Hermione, or Draco to die.
