End of Year Speculation

[wintercreek]

When Umbridge decided to punish Sally-Anne in a way likely to make her fail exams and then Slughorn and Dolohov vowed to help her anyway, I started to wonder if that part of the book 5 plot belongs to her - the "Potter will never be an Auror" / "I will help Potter become an Auror if it's the last thing I do!" bit.

And now, in light of that and of Cecilia Perks coming to Grimmauld this week, I'm starting to wonder if that means Sally-Anne's going to be the one to lose a parent(al figure) at the end of the year.

Anyone else have speculation about which parts of HP5 belong to which characters in-game? Or about the mechanism by which Umbridge will receive her well-earned and possibly fatal comeuppance?

Ooh. Tasty possibilities there....

I am convinced it'll still be prompted by Hermione appearing to give in, maybe against Harry's (apparent?) orders, maybe if she just goes to Umbridge 'secretly'. What it'll be, though, I have no guesses, except that I'm sure it'll be epic :D :D

Hmm... that's a theory I hadn't thought of.
Another possibility, in light of Pansy's latest post, might be Pansy losing Sirius, depending on how much this relationship develops over the next few months.
