Music, is it important in HP?

I believe that I posted this before, and I didn't get any replies...I 
don't think.  Ok I'll try it again and maybe somebody will actually 
give their input.

In PS/SS after the students have sung the Hogwarts Anthem (which I 
can't wait to see how they adapt to film! errr anyhow...) Dumbledore 
says something to the effect of (I don't have SS w/ me now.) "Ah, 
music, a magic beyond all we do here."  Now there are a lot of ways 
that this could be interpreted.  Here are a few...

1)Dumbledore is simply making a general statement about how music can 
move a person.  Specifically a headmaster listening to his school 
song.  If this is true then please disregard this whole message.

2)On the other hand, knowing Jo's love of small hints being important 
later on I would interpret it as something like this...Dumbledore 
seems to know that music is a powerful type of magic (?) (I guess 
really wouldn't even be considered magic though).  Examples- In CoS 
Harry seems to be in a situation that is not very hopeful until the 
arrival of the Pheonix, AND the Pheonix Song.  This same "music" is 
heard in the cemetary in GoF.  Is it possible that I could have 
something here!?!?

I guess that I'm probably over-reading in this case but one of my 
favorite pet theories is that Voldy's ultimate downfall would be to 
the tune of- "Oops I did it again" (JUST KIDDING! Though that was a 
very funny fanfic....)
