[QUOTE="DragonMan Ren, post: 2502525, member: 35575"] Hi. Found this thread due to a lark Google search, and thought I'd join the forum and throw out my own thoughts. Dumbledore may have died, but I'm [i]absolutely certain[/i] he'll get better. The other phoenix imagery associated with him would've been a big enough clue, but when his body spontaneously burst into flames, and Harry spotted the form of a phoenix flying from the smoke? That suggests powerful phoenix-oriented magic taking effect. What's more, the entire sixth book is riddled with hints that Dumbledore and Snape planned the death [i]together[/i], and made sure it happened. Dumbledore might be willing to die to prepare Harry to face Voldemort, but there's a lot of other things he could've done to help Harry before the confrontation instead. Like help him find the other Horcruxes, because it seems like Dumbledore is the only one capable of tracking them down. The death of Dumbledore cost more advantages for Harry than he's gained, unless Dumbledore is able to continue helping from behind the scenes. I believe that he'll show up at the end of the seventh book, and explain everything. Harry's scar as a Horcux is possible, but I don't believe that it will end in Harry's death. The series atmosphere has grown a lot bleaker, but it isn't that sort of series yet. What's more, the prophecy doesn't seem to be worded to suggest that Harry must die to achieve victory. Finally, when Dumbledore found out that Voldemort had used Harry's blood to revive himself, and had thus gained the protection that had saved Harry as a baby for himself, Dumbledore's eyes lit up for a moment. We never did find out what that was about. I suspect that it means that Voldemort has tied himself to Harry in such a way that will make him far easier and less costly to defeat. [/QUOTE]
