My predictions.....(thus far until I reread book six)


Petunia is the witch who "comes into her powers late in life"- to me it's a no brainer. Petunia is/was so jealous of Lily, which was made apparant in book one (and the movie). I think Petunia was so caught up in that Lily was accepted to Hogwarts and she wasn't that she "hid" her powers and "pretends" to be "normal". Something will have to happen to Dudley, Vernon or herself to make her use her magic. I have a feeling that Harry will be involved somehow along with Voldemort.

The three deaths- (based off the information that JK actually released). If I remember correctly from the information given, the 3 deaths are main characters, but don't quote me on that.
-Neville: I too think it will occur fighting Bellatrix
-Snape: (more later)
-Harry or Voldemort: (Which we know is another no brainer, one of them has to die due to the prophecy)

I wouldn't be surpised if other, non "major" characters, such as Lucias, Crabbe, Goyle, Arthur, Tonks, etc... are killed off in the final battle as well.

Snape isn't "evil" persay- I've never truly believed that he is evil. If he truly was, he wouldn't have saved Harry in book 1. Yes, he is taking out all his anger of James onto Harry, but I don't think he wants Harry dead. I think it's because of Lily, he liked Lily. Snape hated James, liked Lily, so I think he's somewhat confused on how to 'feel' about Harry. I think a part wants to like him (and therefore protect him) but the other part hates him (and therefore make his life a living hell).
And even when he killed Dumbledore, I couldn't get the sense that he was 'evil'. Malfoy couldn't go through with it. Even though it wasn't mentioned in the book, we can all guess that Snape most likely told Dumbledore aboud the unbreakable vow that he made with Narcissa & Bellatrix over Draco. DD knew that Draco was there to kill him, DD could have taken him out, but instead he calls Snape, who he knows has an unbreakable vow. There was a reason behind that and I don't think it was to show that Snape was evil.

Those are my predictions/thoughts for now.
