In book five (Harry) has to examine exactly what death means, in even closer ways.
The Dursleys are in the next book, and there's stuff coming with them that people might not expect.
The "Arabella Figg" Dumbledore refers to at the end of book four is indeed the same Mrs. Figg that takes care of Harry for the Dursleys in book one.

You see Lupin in Book Five. Yes, you will see a lot of old characters in Book Five.

One of the main characters, one of Harry's "fans" will die.

Rumours About Book Five

Harry could be the heir of Godric Gryffindor. Here's why this is possible:

When Harry finally finds the right wand for him at Ollivander's, the wand emits red and gold sparks - Gryffindor colors!

We know that Harry's parents lived at Godric's Hollow. Godric who? Godric Gryffindor of course!
Near the end of book 2, when Harry pulls the sword out of the sorting hat, it had the words "Godric Gryffindor" engraved on the handle. Later on, Dumbledore says to Harry, "Only a true Gryffindor could have done that."

Harry's birthday is July 31st, which falls under astrological sign of Leo the Lion. The Lion is the Gryffindor house mascot.

The New Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher

Arabella Figg might be the new DADA (Defense Against the Dark Arts) teacher. J.K. Rowling said that we would "learn all about her in book five" and that she would "play more of a role in book five". JKR also said that there would be a female DADA teacher.

The New Gryffindor Quidditch Captain

Harry will be the new Gryffindor Quidditch Team captain. Wood is no longer there and Harry is the only, true, leader among the rest of the team. He will be in his 5th year, the same age Wood was when he was captain.

I changed to thread title to reflect how the other books have been described.
