The locket thief is believed to be Mundungus Fletcher, who is not so much a kleptomaniac as a petty criminal wheeler-dealer, who just can't resist a batch of cauldrons that fell of the back of a broomstick...and who will nick anything that isn't nailed down!
Snape on the side of the angels? Never in this world - or the next! Rowling has built him up so overwhelmingly as a nasty, vindictive piece of work, it would be a serious fault of characterisation to redeem him at the eleventh hour. I think she's a better writer than that.
My theory about who will be killed off, apart from Voldemort (who has to die, or the whole series collapses), is Harry's one remaining parent-figure, Molly Weasley. It is, after all, a literary tradition that the hero only comes of age after he has lost all parental and neo-parental support. In The Order of the Phonenix, when Sirius tells her "You're not his mother", Molly retorts "I'm as good as!"
I don't believe Harry will die, but I do think he will lose many of his powers once he has succeeded in destroying Voldemort.
Roll on the 21st!
