Dumbledore will "die" just like Voldemort "died"
Everything seems to be paralled.

If the fifth book is called Order of the Phoenix then my theory 
makes sense. 

Why is Dumbledore the only wizard Voldemort is afraid of?
Because he is unique in someway?

How?
Just like the phoenix when dies it is reborn. Therefore, he will 
always have the ultimate power. Only one phoenix lives at a time. It 
dies and a new one rises from its ashes.

Why is Voldemort obsessed with becoming immortal?
Because Dumbledore is... kinda? In the same way that Draco is 
obsessed with Harry...Draco wants to play Quidditch because Harry 
does.

This can also explain Dumbledore's partnership with Flamel who is over 
six hundred years old. He has been reborn a few times to keep up with 
is old friend.

I still believe Harry is "put here on earth" by Dumbledore to stop 
Voldement from achieving immortality.

If Dumbledore "dies" there will be no one to guide the rest. All of 
them will have to choose between what is "right" and what is "easy".

This is a lesson he will teach all of them. Just a he has been 
"teaching" Harry to choose the "right way".

In PS Harry categorically announces "I will not go to the Dark Side".
At the end of GoF Fudge can not even admit that Voldemort is back.

However, as Voldemort died and return we should see the return of 
Dumbledore.

Any comments?
