Hi Josh!
I was just thinking about Wormtail actually. Remember how Harry spared his life in the Shreiking Shack? Lupin and Sirius wanted to kill him right there. I think that's got to come back up some where in book 7. We didn't see much of him in the last two books at all. Just that little bit where Snape was using him as a butler. I have to think we will see more of him in the next book.
I like your ideas, Josh! It would be good to see Neville getting revenge for his parents' torture, or even getting to kill LV as the source of all his tragedy.
I don't know if I think Wormtail is enough of a "major" character to be one of the deaths Rowling was discussing. It should be someone closer to Harry and on whom he relies for some degree of protection. Unfortunately, that probably means Hagrid. . .
