You're just falling for the pattern, there's absolutely no way anyon can say that JKR has followed any sort of other pattern.
The first 7 books in the Nancy Drew series are:

1. Secret of the Old Clock
2. The Hidden Staircase
3. The Bungalow Mystery
4. Mystery at Lilac Inn
5. Secret of Shadow Ranch
6. Secret of Red Gate Farm
7. The Clue in the Diary
In Nancy Drew, book 1, Nancy is searching for a will which is hidden behind the glass face of an old clock. Harry Potter, book 1, Harry is searching for the Philosopher’s stone, which is “hidden” behind the glass of the Mirror of Erised.
In Nancy Drew, book 2, Nancy finds a hidden staircase to solve the mysterious happenings in an old stone mansion. Harry Potter 2: Harry finds a hidden tunnel leading to the Chamber of Secrets, and thus solves the mysterious happenings in an old stone castle.

Nancy Drew, book 3: Nancy discovers the truth about a mysterious bungalow. Harry Potter, book 3: Harry discovers the truth about a mysterious shack.

Nancy Drew, book 4: Orphans, an imposter pretending to be Nancy (even using her charge card), secret agents, and beautiful ghosts in the night all play a part in finding stolen jewels. Harry Potter, book 4: Harry, an orphan, is fooled by an imposter (Moody/Crouch), who pretends to be, not a secret agent, but a retired Auror. Fleur is beautiful and there’s something ghostly about her pure white hair...

Nancy Drew, book 5: a ranch is haunted by a phantom, ghostly horse. Harry Potter, book 5: Thestrals, skeletal-looking, flying “horses,” help Harry get to the MoM.

What hints can we get from books 6 and 7 in the Nancy Drew series? Nancy Drew 6: Nancy becomes suspicious of a secret society. Harry Potter 6: Harry suspects a traitor in the secret Order of the Phoenix?

Nancy Drew 7: Nancy uses a lost diary to exonerate an innocent prisoner. This obviously points to both CoS (lost diary) and PoA (exonerating a falsely accused prisoner). Whatever happens in the final Harry Potter book, rest assured Sirius plays a part, regardless of his death in book 5. Also expect Voldemort’s history as Tom Riddle to play a big part.

Hello, this is my first post on this thread! I think Professor McGonagall is the one who will die. I really don't want her to die, but I think it makes the most sense. I am listing the reasons why I think she will die below.

1. She is Dumbledore's second banana. (Deputy Headmistress)
2. She is the head of Gryffindor.
3. She is one of Harry's mentors and a Grandmother-like figure to Harry.
4. She is old. I don't think Jo will kill off another student unless there are other adult deaths. Since she is getting to be a bit older, I think Jo will kill her off because it will fuel Harry's anger and it will give him more reason to carry out her wishes of him. (i.e. OofP, Chapter 29 "Career Advice": McGonagall says to Harry "Potter...I will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do!" Think about that, people.
5. I think McGonagall will die trying to save one of her students. We know that she was seriously injured while trying to protect Hagrid last year, and perhaps she will rush into battle without thinking and get hit with a fatal curse.
6. She was alive during the last war, and it is very possible that she could be a target for a Death Eater who has a grudge against her or her family.
I'm sure there are many other reasons why McGonangall might be the next victim, but I can't think of the at the moment. Feedback is appreciated.
