I don't think Rowling has to kill Dumbledore off in order to have Harry shine. She has done an excellent job of demonstrating that he and his administration are a total mess and are greatly unaware of what happens around them. Sure Dumbledore winks at Harry like he knows what is going on, but the headmaster has no clue. Every year Harry's life has been threatened and saved mostly by luck right under the nose of the old codger. Despite being one of the weakest characters in the series, Harry has always been able to take front and center. I don't see that changing.
Why kill DD afterall, he is not the only character stronger than Harry. All of the adults are and half of the students are as well. Harry cannot get spells to work in classes and can't make a potion no matter how hard he tries.
I have 2 predictions. First Hagrid is not the Halfblood prince. It makes no sence to come up at this point. He already visited the giants and found out about his mom. It also seems to me that giant societies don't have princes. I think Hagrid dieing also makes sense, but since so many poeple expect it, it is probably someone else. Hagrid is a good case though. He could go out in a major sacraficial act which fits his character and his huge size, str & con could really make a memorable scene. Hagrid has also played his role. He was the kids mentor for there first three years and introduced the characters and readers to a lot of information. I don't think the characters or reader really need anything from him anymore.
Maybe this is fassioned after a Greek Tragedy. Malfoy discovers his mother cheated on his dad and that he, the young Malfoy, is a halfblood prince and not related at all to the man he calls dad. Lucius kills Malfoy's actual father. The young Malfoy and Harry will become best friends and work together to bring down Lucius only to find out in Lucius's last breath that He had been a secret agent of the Order and had killed little Malfoy's real father in order to protect him because his real dad was an agent of the dark lord.
