Yes. I know. Dumbledores dead. But for a while, my dad and I had an awsome theory going. I'll post what I remember of it now, and I'll finish my post as I remeber more.

Snape pretended to kill Dumbledore. Since every one, except Snape and Dumbledore, now think dumbledore is dead and snape killed him. This ensures Voldemorts trust in snape and allows Dumbledore to do as he sees fit behind the worlds back.

The site www.dumbledore-is-not-dead.com totally convinced me, so for months I told everyone who wanted to listen (and the people who didn't)that he wasn't... Which of course is a bit emberassing as I was wrong Rolling Eyes

What I thought was weird that Bellatrix told Harry that you really must mean the Unforgivable Curses. You really must want to cause the pain or kill. But Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him althoguh Snape didn`t want todo it at first. So that night Dumbledore said "Severus, please." and then Snape killed him. So he DID meant to kill him.... Confused

Everyone would like that Dambledore was alive,but he has been hit by avada kedavra and even if Snape failed that day,Dambledore would die fast cause he was already dieing after he put that cursed ring that is Lord Voldemort's horkruks.

He's dead. Gone. That's all. No secrecy behind it.

He had to let Snape kill him. Think about it. He was already dying, and by letting Snape kill him he made sure that Snape didn't have to convince the deatheaters that he truly was one of them. It also deceived Voldy didn't it? To think about it, he also saved Draco Malfoy in the proces.

He meant it because he knows that was what Dumbledore wanted. DD was dying anyways, so even if Snape didn't AK him he still died from the poisen.

Not to mention, the book wouldn't be good if DD lived. Notice how all of Harry's father figures were taken away, eh?

I didn't want him to be dead, infact i wasn't believing it until the last page of book 7. Okay, so maybe it did give Snape reliability and it may have saved Draco but with Dumbledore dead it made Harry feel more alone than ever. In my opinion anyway. He could always rely on his Headmaster to be there, it might not have seemed like it but deep down Harry knew he was always there.

I, personally, don't have a problem with Dumbledore but I was kinda glad he died. No, I didn't like that Dumbledore himself died, I just liked the Snape twist that JKR threw in.

Harry felt more alone then ever in every book. He made himself feel that way because he was acting dumb and selfish and was refusing help from everybody.

If he didnt die by avada kedavra, he was supposed to die anways after 1 year because of poison.

Dumbledore death was unbelievable I know,but he died if someone would like to accept the cruel truth or prefer living in ilusion that he is alive.
Besides you read book 7.Harry talked to Dumbledore and when he leaved Dumbledore couldn't go with him.

everyon has to die at some point and dumbledore was very old so his time was coming soon, and that was probably the best way for him to die, to keep him alive even longer and wait till he died of just plain old age would suck, he had a very long life and died helping those that were close to him, why take away his perfect ending to this great mans life
