I see it going a few different ways. Also huge Tali fan from the start. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a Gypsy chick with an Eastern European accent. The three fingers and chicken feet kinda throw me though. The knife on her leg is a nice touch though.
One is the Tarantino theory my friends came up with. Since her and Garuss was in ME2 their going to switch them out for others of the original crew in ME3. This is only banter and speculation.
Another is she appeals to the Quarian fleet to join in a United Galactic Operation. Joined by Wrex, Grunt, and the Krogan Legion and the Geth. The Earth Alliance and the Citadel Counsel. And maybe Cerberus...maybe.
I can also see her dieing in ME3. Being wiped out with the Quarian fleet. I mean Sovereign took out half the Alliance fleet. Maybe the little romance with Shepard got her sick and she dies.
She becomes a bit of a diplomat with the Geth, because Geth is her area of expertise, and brings some sort of truce between them.
Quarians returning home is probably going to be the big thing with Tali in ME3. She talks about it a lot in ME2. I read a great ending scenario with her and Shepard someone wrote. I forgot where it was though.
Also if you don't romance her in ME2 she could get together with Kal'Reegar. (great voice work by Adam Baldwin.)
I remember when the big thing was what was behind Master Chiefs mask in Halo (Only played the first one.) Didn't understand the fascination with it though. I could take it or leave it with the whole mask thing though. BioWare isn't going to make her ugly. That's just bad production.
I've been a fan of BioWare games since Bauldurs Gate, and one thing I've learned is that they love to make dramatic endings. For good or bad. I could take a tradgic ending for Tali since she seams the most sincere. She doesn't hide behind her past or curse the galaxy. I guess when you have no home and your people are so well connected you really don't take much for granted and work to make the best out of life.
I'm a fan of the Quarian people and of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy.
I posted this late last night (CET) which ties in with your speculation (ATTN: It is a sizeable chunk of text):
What I'm about to list will be heavily influenced by the decisions made through both ME1 and ME2, so results may vary from person to person. Given the hints and at times outright confirmations in ME2 of what we can expect in ME3 (depending on our personal Shepard), the following appear likely to play a pivotal role in ME3:
1) The Rachni - The Asari messenger for the Rachni queen flat out states that the Rachni queen looks forward to fighting the "Dark Ones" (aka. Reapers) side by side with Shepard. Apparently the Rachni Wars were a result of the corrupting influence of Reapers (see: Cerberus IFF science team) which drove them insane and prompted them to attack Council space.
2) The Geth - Presuming that Legion has been truthful it appears the Geth may be fairly peaceful as long as they are not attacked first (they will act in self-defence) and are far more concerned with determing their own insular future. If you opted to destroy the virus with the Heretics and not destroy the space station, it remains uncertain what sort of shock effect the previously virus infected Geth (then known as Heretics) will have on the larger Geth entity as all memories and experiences are shared and stored. It could lead to pivotal clues and insight about Reaper tactics and weaknesses which could be exploited.
3) The Quarians - The quarians lot is tied to the Geth. Legion states that the Geth do not think poorly of the quarians for hating them since it is part of their organic make-up. The Geth do not live on the quarian homeworld but instead reside in space stations mining asteroids and cleaning up/care taking of the quarian homeworld and other former colonies damaged during the Geth uprising (which seems to have been started by the quarians resulting in the Geth enter self-defence mode) in the "Dawn War". The Geth are opposed to the Reapers because they want to create their own future without assistance from outside; the Geth that did not follow this approach became the Heretics which have now either been cured (hopefully) or destroyed (if you blew up the space station). Legion mentions that the Geth can not bring about peace with the quarians on their own, that the quarians have to be willing to sue for peace as well. This seems to strongly hint at the possibility of establishing a peace agreement between the two factions which might result in the vast quarian fleet (not state of the art mind you, and not all military grade vessels) being put to use against the Reapers. It might also provide a means by which the quarians could finally reclaim their homeworld peacefully without resorting to war as was discussed during Tali's loyalty quest. Whether Tali will be invited to take her father's seat at the admirality remains unknown. It seems likely Tali and Legion will serve as liasons for each of their factions in some capacity (if either or both of them died in ME2 that changes the dynamics significantly).
4) Krogans - Mordin's soul searching at Shepard's prompting may lead to Mordin eventually finishing the work on a cure for the genophage that his former assistant began (Moridin helped engineer some of the latest genophage alterations and thus has first hand knowledge of it's structure). This will also depend upon whether or not you opt to destroy the lab work amassed by Mordin's former assistant. Should the burden of the genophage be lifted from the Krogans it is not unthinkable that it would set in to motion a reinvigorated spitire amongst the Krogans not seen in centuries and perhaps cause them to band together under Wrex (if you didn't kill him in ME1) who might then be persuaded to assist Shepard with the Krogan's martial prowess.
5) Cerberus - In one of the N7 missions (if I recall correctly) Shepard is asked to retrieve sensitive data about Cerberus which you can then return to Cerberus, the Alliance or keep for yourself and haev EDI analyse (the AI informs you that it will take her the better part of a year to fully analyse but apperas to contain revelations about illicit covert Cerberus programs that would weaken Cerberus' standing). Whether such knowledge could be used to coerce the Illusive Man and Cerberus in to accepting Shepard's plans over their own against the Reapers (whom Cerberus already oppose), or be used to outright undermine and possibly destroy Cerberus is unknown. Cerberus does have extensive resources and connections which could make for a vital strategic resource against the Reapers. This may also be determined in-part by which end response you selected for the Illusive Man (i.e. regarding the Collector's base and the subsequent conversation after completion of "Suicide Run").
6) The aging sun/dark energy phenomenon near Haelstrom - This may be a Heretic experiment, now become Geth, which may help shine some light on it since Shepard has contact with Legion. What it's purpose is remains unknown but it could be an energy source, a weapon or perhaps some means of transportation to another dimension or even place in time dealing with the Reapers past (perhaps a mission back in time when the Reapers were first created? This would echo the Neanderthal flashback Shepard has in ME1 after receiving the Consort's gift and visiting a certain planetary ruin).
7) The Alliance & The Council - Once the Reaper threat is revealed with hard proof (or the quick annihilation of several populated planets), I fully expect both of these institutions to get on board with the war effort just as they did in ME1 (que substantial pig-headed politicking and inter-species rivalries before persuading or intimidating unified cooperation). It is their primary role to govern and defend their holdings after all, so once a clear threat has been identified they will have to fight in the slim hope that victory is possible vs. all but guaranteed extinction if they do nothing.
Any additions, alterations, other?

I hope you enjoyed the laugh, Bioware. It's on me.
