lisavision,

But it does make sense from a different angle: the only two people
who appear to be able to give Voldemort a hard time are Harry and
Dumbledore. What better way, from a storytelling standpoint, to push
Harry right to the edge of the cliff than the demise of his chief ally?

I certainly agree with you that the loss of any of the characters
discussed would be felt deeply. If it's Dumbledore, Harry's ultimate
triumph over Voldemort will be that much more impressive.
