Loose Ends! will JKR tie them up?Do we have answers?

Ok here are a few loose ends in the series so far that i hope JKR will address in the final book...(courtesy mugglenet! Ofcourse!) Do we have ne answers to these?

1.Why was Voldemort prepared to let Lily live after he killed James at Godric's Hollow?What bad memory was Dudley forced to encounter when he was attacked by the dementors in Order of the Phoenix? Did Voldemort go to Godric's Hollow alone the night he tried to kill Harry? If so, how do people know the events of that night?If Voldemort lost his body at Godric's Hollow, then who retrieved his wand?How did Dumbledore know the details of Lord Voldemort's murder of Lily - how LV offered to spare her life and how the charm that protects Harry was formed - if no one else was there to witness it?

2.What did Dumbledore actually see in the Mirror of Erised in the first book?What was the 'gleam of triumph' in Dumbledore's eyes at the end of Goblet of Fire?What happened to Dumbledore's wand after his death?With Dumbledore dead, who will lead the Order?Where did Fawkes go at the end of Half-Blood Prince?

3.Will the two-way mirror that Sirius gave to Harry come up again? On her website, JKR stated that "there IS a significant - even crucial - answer" to the following question: How and why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak? What is the significance of this?

4.Is there more behind Voldemort wanting the DADA teaching position so badly, or is it just because he simply wanted the job?

5.What will Percy do now that the Ministry has been proven wrong? Will he go back to his family?In Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart says that he transformed a werewolf back into a man using the "immensely complex Homorphus Charm." Now we know that Lockhart didn't actually do this, but he did steal the sitory from another wizard. So, is there a way to cure Lupin?

6.Assuming Hogwarts will open in Book 7, who will be the DADA teacher?

7.Why did Regulus choose to leave the Death Eaters?

8.How will Harry find his parents' home in Godric's Hollow? After all, Wormtail is the secret-keeper, and as far as we know the only way to find the home would be for Wormtail to tell Harry its location.How did Hagrid retrieve Harry from the ruins of his parents' house if he was not told the location by the secret-keeper? Now that Dumbledore's dead, who is the secret-keeper of the Order of the Phoenix? Is the spell broken?

9.What significance is the fact that Mundungus Fletcher has been stealing things from Grimmauld Place going to have to the plot of the next book? Did he take the locket from Grimmauld Place, and if so, who did he sell it to?
