Okay, I've got to voice my little epiphany.  :)  Some of you will probably 
say, "I *told* you that already!" But it all made sense to me only this 
afternoon.  :)

I was, until this afternoon, a firm believer that Dumbledore is the one to go 
in the next book. Not only because of the frequent hints in GoF about him 
getting old and weak, but also because Harry's mentor simply must pass on so that 
Harry can take over the role of Voldemort's most feared wizard. 

But, as I thought it over, I realized that Dumbledore is a very passive 
wizard. I don't see him dueling or having it out with anyone who stands in his way. 
He passively shares his wisdom wherever he goes and people both respect and 
fear him for that. He reminds me a little of Yoda (in a tall, not-green sort of 
way). And Yoda died a peaceful death. I think Dumbledore will, as well -- by 
the end of the 6th book. Then, Harry's rise to win over Voldemort can happen 
in the final installment.

So I've given up on watching Dumbledore meet his maker in the 5th book. It's 
too early, and, by what I infer from JKR's statement, it will be too peaceful 
to be the "horrible" death she promised us.

Now I'm trying to decide: Hagrid? Lupin? Snape?  :)  Who's going to go? I 
can't make up my mind!
