I've had this feeling about Dumbledore as well, especially because of what I consider to be forshadowing to his death ("next big adventure",looking very old, etc.) but he would still- in spirit?- help guide Harry.  OTOH, I've also thought this would be a bit too Obi Wan Konobi-ish for JKR.  But, maybe it's a common hero-trainer-dies-to-make-way-for-hero theme, IMO.  

--Lilac (who only just recently got the "Magical Worlds of Harry Potter" and finally and read it, but can't find it right now to refer to this hero theme, nor can she remember that famous myth guy quoted in that book.....she needs to get more sleep ;)
