Harry Potter and the Last Book (Now with Discussion of Books 1-6!!)

I know I'm late on this thread but just to say, WOOO I love Harry Potter! :biggrin: *grin*

Zephos, one of my theories is that the things that Dumbledore may have relived could be similar to the things that people like Harry, Hagrid and Mrs Weasley see when faced with Boggarts and Dementors: Family and friends dying or the deaths and pains of loved ones and people that they have tried to protect. It is possible that Dumbledore even envisioned Harry failing his task.

Like people have said, I think we sould face the fact that Dumbledore is VERY dead.
JKR has left numerous hints, the most well know being in PS/SS:
"To the well prepared mind, death is but the next great adventure"
Dumbledore is not afraid of dying and being a brave and wise Gryffindor, he knows perfectly well that there are worse things that death, and would gladly die if this would be for the greater good, to help to win the war.

I think Dumbledore's death may have taught Harry a lesson:
"He must abandon forever the illusion he ought to have lost at the age of one: the shelter of a parents arms meant that nothing could hurt him"
By Dumbledore dying, Harry need to learn that he has to control his temper, use his love, and learn not to depend on the help of others. If Dumbledore suddenly came back from the dead, this would completely destroy Harry.

We see in book 6 that Dumbledore is getting weaker. He knows that Snape is more valuable. The wizarding world can do without Dumbledore now, but Snape and Harry are indispensible still.

Just thought I'd express my views here too..lol

Jam it back in, in the dark.
