No one has inside information, at least no one who is talking on the record.
For better or worse, here are my ideas:
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. If he kills Harry, he's wasted part of his soul. Also, I reject the idea that Harry became a horcrux as an unintentional byproduct of the rebounding of Voldemort's killing curse. The byproduct is known and is the empathic bound between the two, and that's all, IMHO.
Remember too that all the horcruxes have to be destroyed before Voldemort is vulnerable to death. If Harry is a horcrux, then Harry must die first, then Voldemort. So it would mean that Harry would have to loose a killing curse at Voldemort just after Voldemort loosed a killing curse against him--that is very tricky timing!.
I take the prophecy to mean that vanquishing Voldemort it Harry's job--no chance that Voldemort becomes vulnerable with a Harry sacrifice and with Harry dead, someone else kills Voldemort. Voldemort is too powerful for others to kill, and I believe Harry has something about him that will enable him to finish the job.
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. Romances: At the end of DH, i foresee the following couples (assuming all of them survive): Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Neville/Luna, Lupin/Tonks (and I think the last two could very well be married by the end of the book).
9. 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.

Its believed that in every book, we have come in contact with one Horcrux. Many have hinted that the horcruxes are as follow:
Sorceres Stone: Voldemort himself
Chamber of Secrets: The Diary
Prisoner of Azkaban: (Perphaps the Cup or some other item that we didn't really paid attention.
Goblet of Fire: Nagini
Order of the Phoenix: The Locket
Half-Blood Prince : The Ring
Deathly Hallows: (Same as Prisoner of Azkaban)
However, it is being said that Harry is not a Horcrux because, Voldermort had to kill some one and then create the Horcrux. Dumbledore believes that Voldermort was going to make the final Horcrux after killing the one that was to destroy Voldermort himself. Since Voldermort was "killed" he was not able to create that Horcrux, but later created another one in the form of Nagini.
I think that Harry will return to Hogwarts in order to get some help from the portrait of Dumbledore, now found in the Headmasters/Headmistress office.
Many people speculate that RAB is Regulus Black, the brother of Sirius that decided to leave the Death Eaters only to be killed days later. Other people that could be RAB, is believed that someone in the Bones' family, because many have been killed by the Death Eaters and its believed that Madam Bones was killed by Voldermort himself. Therefore, the question is: Why are the Bones' family members being killed?
Soon we shall get the answers, very soon.

Nope. No one knows except for JK Rowling and her publisher. You should check out her website, jkrolwing.com to check out all the theories she's debunking and stuff.
I suggest just wait until July 21st to get the book. If you know what happens before hand, it won't be as exciting or fun reading it.
Or you could check out fan sites like mugglenet.com and just google Harry Potter fan sites or Harry Potter Theories.
