Attack of Blighter's Rock; Harry Potter hype

As usually happens right after I finish and post fic, I've fallen headlong into a lazy writing slump. Even though I didn't go to bed last night until about 3:30, I managed to sleep only a sane nine hours, got up, took a walk, read The Subtle Knife for about half an hour. Poked around on the QAF IMDB boards (which are slowing down a lot...*tear*), ate some ravioli, and fuck - look at the time. It's really insane how I almost don't have time to hang out with friends between all the stuff I promised myself I'd do more of in the summer since I don't have time to do it during classes.
Seeing the absolutely awesome latest Harry Potter movie kicked up my excitement about the next book coming out (and I just now figured out that I'm going to be out of town the night it's released and won't be able to engage in the celebrations with flowrs4ophelia, dammit). Up until then I'd been kind of...almost exhausted by the thought of it, because I'm intending on avoiding the internet and even, you know, restaurants so as to evade fucking up the event that will undoubtedly draw spoiler-trolls into revolutionary levels of rampant live-or-die quips. I have seriously been exposed to major spoilers for literally everything I've ever been heavily into (though with Queer As Folk, I got lucky...I did read something on the back of the DVD cover about a bashing, but after watching that episode realized I had somehow completely blocked it out of my mind and forgotten about it, probably because I just hadn't been into the show yet), and this is like THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER. The really hilarious thing is that even though I hate spoilers, I still always have this sort of compulsive need to read the last paragraph of a book before I start it. I know there are a lot of people who also do this, but I seem to be the only person that doesn't actually like to be prepared for whatever happens in the end, I just have to do it. Usually last paragraphs don't actually give anything away, though. They prepare you for a happy or a sad ending, but not the reasons why.
I haven't actually been doing a lot of thinking about the possibilty of specific characters dying, at least not the ones that haven't been widely discussed, probably because it will lessen the impact of the deaths if I've sort of adjusted myself to the thought of them being the one that dies. With Rowling, I have a feeling she might kill off somebody that will make us go, "OMG, you're killing them!?" as well as somebody more obvious. Sara brought up, though, that she mentioned in an interview how she had one death in mind but forgoed that death for the death of two others. A lot of people think this points to the twins. At first, the idea of them dying makes me really really sad, but then again...if they went out in some perfectly heroic way I think it would actually do tremendous justice to their characters. If Rowling kills only one of them, I will be so mad.
My "theories"?
Remus has to live. (because how could she do that?)
Snape has to die. (because he is a tragic character.)
One or more of the Weasleys has to die.

And I just don't know at all about Harry. There are some good arguments for his death being the appropriate ending, but I still find it really hard to picture how the hell the story would end if that happened. And in a way, it would just feel so...predictable. I mean, if I put myself in JKR's place, I just can't fathom actually having the guts to end the books that way. What my actual emotional response to either outcome would be remains to be pondered, but if Harry Potter dies, I will be commending Rowling for having some serious balls.
