Somebody told me that J.K.Rowling has once declared in an interview that Dumbledore is dead, though something looks really suspect to me.
First of all, we know he once said: "You'll find that will only have left this school when none here are loyal to me." (CoS)
OK, Dumbledore never talks non-senses, and we know that there are still many person at Hogwarts who are faithful to him.
Secondly, up to know the potions we heard about during Snape's classes regularly show up as a storyline clue. There are two in particular, that might be crucial in our debate over Dumby's death: "The Draught of Living Death" and "The Draught of Peace"(I hope I wrote this last correct!), which are both extremely powerful sleeping potions. We've been told that the drinker falls in a deep, nearly death-like sleep (like in Romeo and Juliet).
What happens on "the lightning struck tower" looks too easy for me, and I cannot help thinking it was all an acting. As we know that JKR has been working on the whole story at once, she definitely knew if Dumby was going to die or not, so why put all those suspicious hint at faking death? He even suggests it to Draco in the first American version.
I'm pretty sure she had wanted to keep that door ajar, so that she could eventually make him come back!
