Very Simple reason it had to be that person. Now Harry has lost....damn...how to say this without giving it away. He has lost anything that was even close to a family...all he has is revenge now. A decent into darkness for book 7.
I don't know Goth Potter as much as an Anakin Skywalker Potter...starting down the dark path. Will he be able to destroy He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named without becoming him? Remeber what he did in the bathroom? Remember what he tried to do on the lawn? Harry has got a mean streak a mile wide when it comes to revenge and it is beginning to really come out now.
Remember: "Neither can survive while the other lives."
Not so fast there, missy! It could be any number of people. I'm particularly fond of Dumbledore, Ron Weasley, and Remus Lupin. There's also Mr. Weasley, Hagrid, Neville Longbottom, the twins, and of course Harry, but we all know he doesn't die.
So, no. You're suspicion won't be confirmed until you finish the book. :P
JKR has said she will be starting it by the end of this year (she's already begun it a bit, but will devote full time to it at that time) - I agree, I cried too - but looking at those around Harry, this death made me feel more (emotionally) than that in Book 5 - I felt more attached, and I think it was a deliberate choice (I believe the character killed knew what was coming and, not so much as "asked for it", but accepted it as the best way to further help Harry in the ultimate battle)..I think book 7 will have to be at least 1000 pages or more just to answer all the loose questions!
I have a feeling that there's going to have to be more than one more book in order to tie up all the loose ends she left. That, and I think the person who died may come back as a ghost or somesuch. Just a hunch.

This is gonna be nasty.
Re: HP vague hints
I think Harry will be able to resist the dark side.
I do wonder, however, if the next book will indeed be the last...

He's not entirely "dead" yet. At least, that's what I think.

Erm... because if he wasn't killed off soon, he'd die of old age anyway?
