1. Snape turns out to be good, or at least redeems himself. Honestly, JKR can NOT make her big, takeaway less of her 7 books be "don't give anyone a second chance, especially if they're ugly." She just isn't that kind of person.
Full points for this one.
2. Snape will die somehow saving Harry as Harry finishes off Voldemort, or dies enabling Harry to finish off Voldemort.
I'm giving myself 1/2 point for this, since Snape does die, although not quite as heroically as I'd hoped.
3. I'm undecided on Harry living or dying. I give him 55% odds of being alive at the end of the last sentence.
A full point for this one. Technically, he DID die, and he WAS alive at the end of the last sentence - so 55% odds of living was right on the money!
4. Remus and Tonks will live happily ever after, to my great disdain. So will Ron and Hermione, to my great joy.
1/2 point. I really really did not think Remus and Tonks would both bite the dust.
5. At least one Weasley will bite the dust. (Well there's just so many of them! It's statistics!)
One point.
6. Harry is a horcrux.
One point.
7. We learn more about Regulus.
One point.
Six points out of seven - I'd say that's an E, for Exceeds Expectations!

First of all... I have to say, possibly the most poignant, moving death scene I've ever read was no more than two lines long. He was tiny in death.
