And Lizbot added:
>>> As was brought up two posts ago, Hagrid says that as long as
Dumbledore is around, everything will be fine, or something like
that.  If that isn't foreshadowing, I don't know what is.  My only
reason for thinking Dumbledore wouldn't die in Book Five is the
question of who would be headmaster/mistress after him?  McGonagall?
Snape?  I don't know.  I imagined he would die in Book Seven.  What
does everyone else think?  If he did die, who would fill his position?


Me:
Add to that the way Harry notes Dumbledore looking old and worn at the end
of GoF. DDs death's would make a nailbiting cliffhanger and it would set the
stage for book 6 and 7. Since I believe that Snape will be busy with DD's
mission, I'd bet my money on McGonagall. That would make DD's the bad one...
and the terrible? Hagrig, maybe?
