Ah. I had a thought. This particular snippet was not released by JKR. 
This was released by the conscienceless, soulless PDs (publicity 
dementors) of a popular entertainment venue. The same sorts of people, 
who, in an earlier age, wrote the "cliffhangers" at the end of serial 
installments. 

So. For those of you who know to what I refer--recall, then, that 
cliffhangers almost *always* seemed to promise one thing, but what 
they actually delivered was very different. I submit that this is 
misdirection from the PDs, and we won't actually find out everything 
until Book 7.

Scenarios? Harry could be dreaming. Dumbledore could be interrupted by 
something he cannot ignore and never finish, and then die. Dumbledore 
could still qualify what he means by "everything." Etc.

Just thought I'd toss that cheery little idea out.
