There have been hundreds of real-life cases of someone dying and then 
being resusitated and waking up again. And there have been many 
different causes of the death in the first place. So why can't 
someone survive the aftermath of being hit by a killing curse, dying, 
and come back to life?

We don't really have the full idea of how far wizard powers can 
stretch, and even if Dumbledore did say no-one can be brought back to 
life, I'm sure at least it is possible in *some* way.

I have a theory. What if Harry does die, and then he sees his 
parents? They tell him it isn't time for him to die and that he has 
so much more to live for (which he has). Then they send him back and 
he comes back to life. I know it sounds stupid, but it could 
happen! :)
