Hmmm, this is a bit out there, but does anybody think that the little predicting Trelawney was doing when Harry was on his way to Dumbledore's first lesson might mean anything?
'Two of Spades: conflict,' she murmured, as she passed the place where Harry was crouched, hidden. 'Seven of Spades: an ill omen. Ten of spades: violence. Knave of Spades: a dark young man, possibly troubled, one who dislikes the questioner -'
Could be nothing, but it just seems so, well, prophetic. And it certainly sounds like it refers to Harry, but who is doing the questioning? Scrimgeour? Snape with his mind delving spells? Voldermort even? Also could the department of mysteries figure into the story again, what with the covered arch, and the door that supposedly leads the way to the force Voldermort fears so much (love)?
And I think Harry could potentially die, as the prophecy doesn't specifically say that one will survive, or that one *has to survive*. It's more like the only chance for one to live is for the other not to. Still, if Harry has got to kill Voldermort, then it would be difficult for him to do so if he is dead (unless it is one of those noble sacrifice kind of things)
And of course, will Ollivander the wand maker turn up, in the beginning he seemed like someone who was wise, knew something. Then he doesn't appear again, and then he is mentioned in passing as having disappeared and how ominous it is. Perhaps Voldermort captured him to find out why Harry's and his wand did what they did, to work out a way that could help him?
