Hours away from finding out what J.K. Rowling has in store for her Hogwarts heroes and their enemies, here is a look at what could happen in "The Deathly Hallows":
Neville kills Bellatrix Lestrange: Neville Longbottom needs to kill someone. Who better than Bellatrix Lestrange? She is the one who tortured his parents. She is the one who killed Sirius Black. She is the new Wicked Witch of the West. But if Neville kills her, that doesn't make him the new Dorothy.
Harry saves Draco: While Neville has it in him to kill, Harry doesn't. He is more likely to want to save his enemies than kill them. Draco is no different. If anything, Harry will be put in a position in which he feels sorry for Draco and will be more likely to save him from death than kill him.
Snape is still a death eater: He is evil and deserves to die. Not that it will play out like that, but like Sirius said, once a death eater, always a death eater.
Fred and George are accused of being death eaters: Of course they're not. But the harmless magical items they're selling in their joke shop will end up in the wrong hands. Most likely death eater hands. And they will be accused of aiding death eaters. Arthur Weasley better have enough pull in the Ministry to keep Fred and George out of Azkaban.
Ron and Hermione get together: Finally. And just before one of them dies. Roneo, Roneo, where for art thou, Roneo?
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley nearly die: Being a father figure to Harry Potter is dangerous business. Let's get real, it's a death sentence. No one who tries to fill James Potter's shoes lives very long. Not even James. Arthur is toast. Molly at least has a fighting chance.
Luna Lovegood helps Harry meet his parents: There's something special about Luna. She looks at everything from a unique perspective. Perhaps that perspective has given her an ability to communicate with the dead on a level even wizards and witches find extraordinary. Harry's parents can't come back to life, but Luna knows a way to get close.
Professor McGonagall captures Snape: Snape is going to do something worse than kill Dumbledore. Not sure what, but McGonagall will catch him in the act, and make him pay for killing Dumbledore.
Harry lives: Perhaps not as a wizard, but Harry will survive The Deathly Hallows. Voldemort will as well. Each will be sentenced to their own prisons. Harry in the muggle world of London and Voldemort in Azkaban -- with Buckbeak as his personal guard.
