I will update this as I find stuff out from my many many sources 
RELEASE: 21st JULY
Feel free to start topics on any of these points.
What we already know:
From Mugglenet
Harry will face Voldemort for the final time
Harry will be attempting to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes
Harry will return to the Dursleys' during the school vacation, but the magical protection Dumbledore arranged will expire on his 17th birthday when he comes of age
Harry will visit Godric’s hollow
The last word is expected to be "scar," but may change
We will find out something "incredibly important" about Lily Potter
We will find out who R.A.B is
We will discover more about Dumbledore's past
There will be no more Quidditch
We will discover where Snape's loyalties lie. From an interview with Jo in 1992:
Question: There’s an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape.
JKR: He, um, there’s so much I wish I could say to you, and I can’t because it would ruin. I promise you, whoever asked that question, can I just say to you that I’m slightly stunned that you’ve said that and you’ll find out why I’m so stunned if you read Book 7. That’s all I’m going to say.
Something will be revealed about Petunia Dursley, although it will not be that she is a squib
We will discover the reason for Sirius' death, and see a reappearance of the two-way mirror
Viktor Krum will return (World Book Day, 2004 interview)
We will see a reappearance of Dolores Umbridge - "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish." (MuggleNet/Leaky Interview)
We will see the wedding of Fleur and Bill Weasley
We will finally learn the full reason why some people become ghosts when they die and others don't
From Answers.com
The last chapter was written back in 1999; it dealt with "what happens to the survivors afterward"; the last word is scar; this chapter will still be tweaked
The book will contain a lot of the back story of the Potters
Aunt Petunia has never performed magic, and never will, but there's more to her than meets the eye; the letter left with Harry on the doorstep was not the first one Dumbledore sent Petunia
The Sorting Hat is not a horcrux, but there's more to it than what we've read in the first books
"Ravenclaw will have their day"
No book character has returned from the future
There is significance to the fact that Harry has his mother's eyes
Speculation: book 7 will be released on 07/07/07
From an Interview on "Richard and Judy" (From Mugglenet)
- She is well into writing Book 7 now.
- Although she still has the final chapter of Book 7 stored away in a safe, it has been altered slightly: Two more people have kicked the can while another has gotten a reprieve.
- Jo originally wrote this chapter in 1990. By doing so, she says some people have found her to be arrogant as she didn't have a publisher at the time.
- It was suggested to her that she would have good reason to kill Harry off in Book 7 so that no one could write sequels to the book when she's finished.
- She concedes having "boxed herself in" by writing certain minor plot details in earlier books, which now means she has to spend a great deal of time explaining or tying up.
