Also, I believe Dumbledore is dead. He appeared sleeping in a portrait in his office at the end of the last book. But there are phoenix references all over the place, so who knows what will happen next...

Only JK Rowling knows and she is not one to spill anything significant.

I'm with you, if Ron or Hermione bite it in the last book, I will be crushed, same thing with Mr. or Mrs. Weasley.

I don't agree that Dumbledore's dead- I think the sleeping portrait and Fawkes' absence are two big clues to the contrary. I don't think it's wishful thinking on my part: either she's gone to a great deal of trouble to throw in so many red-herrings, or Dumbledore is going to pull a Gandalf. Remember, he worked with Nicholas Flamel for many years and if anyone knew how to get past death it was Flamel. Also, like Harry's mom, he sacrificed himself out of love and that is supposed to be the greater power.

I guess I am coming at this from a different angle. Dumbledore had to die for the same reason James, Lilly and Sirius all had to be disposed of. In the end, Harry must stand alone to face Voldemort. As soon as JK started using lines like "Don't you see, nothing bad can happen to Harry while Dumbledore is here" it was clear Dumbledore had to go, and not just off on some errand. As long as Dumbledore was around Harry would feel safe but that's not his future. He has to become a man and face the future on his own terms.

Oh did she? Well, that's really wonderful of her to do that. Sad, but very make a wish kind of cool thing to do.
