I consider it highly possible. I think that Ramsay will fall, but before that D&D will show us his malice in its full extent. Of course, RIckon could be of some use as a hostage, but if the Wildlings and/or Stark loyalists march against Winterfell, Ramsay may indeed flay and burn Rickon to crush their morale. The only thing that prevents me if the fact that in the trailer I recall six or more crosses outside Winterfell, not just one. Therefore, it may well be common soldiers or petty lords fond of the Starks.

What I'm sure will not happen is Ramsay burning Roose. Why would he do that? Even his secret—Roose's murder—has leaked, Ramsay keeps playing the good-son-part; thanks to Bolton's name he is now Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell. He wouldn't gain anything by burning his father; on the contrary, it may cost him dearly. Besides, Ramsay didn't hate Roose so much, he simply wanted to rule in his place.
