A bookies' outfit, taking bets on which Harry Potter character was most likely to die in the new installment, noticed in May an unusual number of bets coming from a certain English town and betting on a certain character. What is this town, why might the publishers have had special reason to worry about these bets, and whose death were the wagers predicting?

The town is Bungay, where the books were being printed... Not sure of the character, but sources say the most popular prediction is Dumbledore.

I've confirmed that the wagers were betting on Dumbledore... So the full answer is:
The English town is Bungay, where the books were being printed, and the bookies and publishers were worried that the manuscript might have been read and leaked. The wagers were betting on Dumbledore.
