Harry Potter Madness
The following post contains speculation regarding book 7.
1) In the very first book, there's a Christmas scene where the twins drag Percy down to the Great Hall, because "Christmas is for being with family." I absolutely love how that comes back later.
2) Lots of people seem to be theorizing, based on the cover of the UK children's edition, that Voldemort has hidden a horcrux in Gringot's. While the scene may very well be in the bank, I cannot believe that Voldemort would do something like that. He seems much more likely to rely on himself to protect his precious treasures than goblins, no matter how much faith others put in them. In fact, Voldemort is aware of just how "easy" it is to break into the place. He was able to instruct Quirrell in how to do just that in book one.
3) This, I think, is my most brilliant idea. (Which, of course, means it's totally untrue.) Regarding whether Snape is "good" or "evil"... Wouldn't it be interesting if Snape had already taken an Unbreakable Vow before the one he did with Narcissa? Specifically, what if Dumbledore had required him to swear to protect Hogwarts' students at any cost? What if the vow he took to help Draco was essentially unnecessary because he was already being compelled to do so by Dumbledore? Maybe that's one of the reasons Dumbledore trusted him so "blindly".
