The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo: Predictions for after Chptr 11

At this point in the novel, I have a few predictions - so read at your discretion

Predictions:

1)Vanger setup Blomkvist.
~As seen on tv series Damages, starring Glenn Close, it wouldn't be the first time that a boss has gone to extreme measures to manipulate someone into taking a job. Isn't it all too convenient that Vanger just so happens to have the dirt needed to bring down Wennerstrom? Vanger made Blomkvist need what he had, before he could get him to take the job which explains his timing. Furthermore, familiar with his career and aware of his political stance, if not lackthereof, Vanger seems to have already chosen Blomkvist long before the trial. In the business of mystery and suspense, the world is much smaller than one would hope.

2) Lisbeth is the daughter of Harriet
~At this point in the novel, I highly suspect that Lisbeth's difficult past is somehow part of the Vanger turmoil. Furthermore, her mother seems to be suffering dementia or possibly some other brain damage. How did this illness come about, but more importantly, when did this illness come about. If Harriet suffered a case of amnesia after the incident, than its possible she's lived her life without knowing where she's missing from. I'm curious to see if "Camilla" pops up at all in the plot - a name said by Lisbeth's mother, who's thought to be her sister. The connection at this point can be made because there is an end to Harriet's future, yet no past to Lisbeth. The book is bringing attention to both these incomplete stories. Its possible that the two will link up to form one complete story.

3) Lisbeth helps Blomkvist solve the case
Of course, somewhat of a contradiction with 2, but its possible - most unsupported, as of yet, by textual clues.

Questions:

1) Why would Larsson write such a detailed description of where Blomkvist is staying while in Hedestad. Will this play some important, if not tip-giving role to some pivotal point in plot?

2) Who is sending the flowers? Harriet? I'm tempted to rule out Lisbeth. Albeit she has legendary sleuth skills, I think she'd need a guardian's approval to fly to Florida to send a flower. Furthermore, in her office was a shrivelled plant that she does not acknowledge by name. She simply throws it in the trash. Flower pressing requires detailed precision that presses a flower at its peak. Obviously, from her action in her office, Lisbeth seems not the type to cosset plants.
