What do you think will happen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Post any theories or thoughts on the matter that you have.
Some ideas for discussion are:
Snape: Is he good? bad? indifferent?
R.A.B: Who is he? Regulus Black? Someone else?
Horcruxes: Where are they? What are they? Is Harry a Horcrux?

I think that Wormtail's silver hand will figure very greatly in this book... either he'll use it to kill Lupin or Greyback (although Snape definitely needs to die, I can see Wormtail being redeemed and coming back to the side of good, and J.K.'s set him up perfectly for a Greyback kill if that's the case), or it's a Horcrux.
My other predictions: Neville Longbottom will be the one to defeat Snape, although someone else might actually be the one to kill Snape (assuming, of course, that Snape dies at all). Remember, Snape is the thing that Neville fears most. Since Neville's becoming a more central -- and heroic -- figure in the storyline with each book, he's definitely going to be at the last battle, and having him face his worst fear sounds like something Rowling would do.
One of the "big three" -- Harry, Hermione, and Ron -- will die. I don't want this to happen, I'm just assuming it will.
Look for old characters to return... Oliver Wood and Viktor Krum would both make excellent recruits for the Order of the Phoenix. I'm expecting Aberforth Dumbledore to make an actual physical appearance this time as well.
At least one member of the Order of the Phoenix -- my money's on Mad-Eye Moody, although Hagrid's also a likely candidate -- will die.
Zacharias Smith will be revealed as the heir to the Hufflepuff bloodline. It can't be a coincidence that an arrogant prick like that shares a last name with the previous known heir.
Albus Dumbledore may come back as a ghost, a la Obi-Wan Kenobi, to provide Harry with guidance and advanced magical instruction even after his death.
Yes, I know some of these predictions are pretty wild... but that's what I think will happen.

I disagree.
Remember in OOTP when Nearly Headless Nick told Harry that "very few wizards" chose to become ghosts? (OOTP The Second War Begins)
Also:
'I was afraid of death,' said Nick softly. 'I chose to remain behind. I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn't to have ... well, that is neither here nor there .. in fact, I am neither here nor there ...' He gave a small sad chuckle. 'I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead.'
To me, becomeing a ghost is not something that I think Dumbledore would do. Remember, he is the one who said, "to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure".
I think that we will see Dumbledore again, but only in the form of paintings or photographs.
