JK Rowling has said the last word of the last book will be scar. Now she says that it may change during the writing of Book Seven.
*Extra, extra*
We will find there is much more to the Sorting Hat than previously assumed.
JK Rowling says: "In Hogwarts there's a magical quill which detects the birth of a magical child, and writes his or her name down in a large parchment book. Every year Professor McGonnagal checks the book, and sends owls to the people who are turning eleven."
The fact that Harry has his mother's eyes will be very important in a future book, as is the fact that her wand was a 'nice wand for charm work'.
We know that Harry will not become an Animagus like his father.
The secret to Harry's riches will be revealed in an upcoming book. Most of the Potter's money was inhereited by James Potter, so he didn't need a well paying profession.

There may be an heir to Voldemort.

In an interview with AOL, JKR was asked; "Why stop at seven books when you could write Harry's whole life?" Rowling usually answers in interviews that it is because the stay at Hogwarts is seven years, but this time she said, "I notice you're very confident that he's not going to die!"
There is a high probability of romance between Ron and Hermione.
