I've had it in my mind for a while that one of the main characters--a Weasley, or even Hermione or Lupin, will somehow get killed at Bill and Fleur's wedding. Just a feeling I have, that the book is going to start out with a real bang. I don't know, though...I'm also pretty convinced that Snape is going to die saving Harry. Geez, we only have to wait another stinkin' year to find out!!!
Hey, stop injecting common sense! ;-)

I know! The rumored release date is 7/7/07, almost exactly a year.
Indeed.... The book starts out like they all do: on or around Harry's birthday.
His blood protection expires when Harry turns 17, at the stroke of midnight, as Voldemort must know. Number 4 Privet drive is no doubt scheduled to become a smoking crater at 12:01 am on July 31. Harry survives, of course. But I suspect that one or more Dursleys don't.
It'll be Voldemort and Harry. Harry's a horcrux. That's why Rowling said that, if she spoke more plainly about her faith, everyone would be able to guess the ending. Harry must die to kill Voldemort.
(Of course I don't know any more than anyone else; but we FReepers always speak as if we had The Ultimate Insight!)
