My random live-die predictions:
I think Arya lives, but won't return to help rebuild House Stark/Winterfell like I expect Sansa to. Bran's path lies elsewhere as well, either north of the wall or somewhere else (I'll predict the God's Eye for the hell of it). Either way, much like Arya, his destiny is not to rebuild House Stark. That falls on Rickon under the guidance of Sansa (and Osha if she lives). Jojen dies in Bran's service (coming-of-age trope).
Barristan seems highly likely to die (in an Obi Wan/Dumbledore kind of way, right near the climax of Dany's coming-of-age arc). Jaime seems likely to die as the culmination of his redemption arc. And Jorah, whose arc is a bit of a hybrid between the two, seems likely to go as well. Davos is a tough call for me. Normally I'd say he seems destined for the redemption-then-death pathway, but GRRM likes to play it realistic with live/die decisions (supporting characters don't simply die/go away when they've served their purpose). I'll say he makes it.
I think Melisandre is toast (literally- my random hunch is that she gets roasted by a dragon, much the way Marianne got gored by her bull-God in True Blood). Cersei can't survive can she? Signs point to Jaime doing her in but I'm not sure exactly how this will go down. Margaery seems 50-50 to me, fading into oblivion being the preferred destiny. Varys is enjoying their presence in the capital so they should be safe from his cabal at least (this is actually a good way to evaluate the fate of any of the characters- "do Varys or LF have reason to want him or her dead?"). I have a hunch that Asha/Yara lives and ultimately becomes warden of the Iron Isles.
Something smells fishy with Loras's mortal wounding. I don't expect him to survive the series though (although this is fairly high variance; his living or dying is not terribly important). Same can be said for pretty much all the Tyrells. If Tommen is killed, or outed as a product of incest, the family becomes largely irrelevant. I hope the Queen of Thorns survives them all.
I'm a believer in The Great Northern Conspiracy, and I expect Martin to reward readers with some glorious revenge satisfaction. The north remembers. I'm trying to come up with a satisfying end for Ramsay. Who is evil enough to serve up some poetic justice? He's poked the Ironborn with a stick, maybe he'll end up in Euron's custody? Roose is gonna get head-spiked I predict. is Greatjon still alive? I think someone from that generation should serve Roose his justice (or Blackfish). Walder Frey? B w/o B lures him away from the Twins with some off-screen trickery and hands him to Stoneheart (or Blackfish).
Connington dead is a lock, and I think Young Griff is killed and/or outed as the false dragon. Tyrion survives. Sam lives and becomes a Maester. Victarion dies.
What did Cersei's Maggie the Frog prophecy say about her children? Do they die after sitting the throne, or just sit the throne? I hope Tommen and Myrcella survive and live somewhat happily ever after somewhere off the world stage.
Littlefinger dies. Can't win the game of thrones if you'll never ever quit while you're ahead. Varys. Hmmm. Who would kill Varys at this point? I'll say......he lives.
