Pickle Jimmy again:

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that the MD meant that Dumbledore 
couldn't die... what I meant (and probably could have said more 
clearly) is that it is *my* belief that Dumbledore will be there 
until the end MAGIC DISHWASHERing - or directing the show (alive and 
well) until the end. 

My arguement wasn't that if he dies he couldn't MD - because, in my 
previous post, I parallelled Dumbledore with Obi Wan (who died and 
still directed Luke from the grave) and Gandalf (who "died" and came 
back to aid Frodo's quest). What I was saying is that *I* don't think 
JK will use the "Death of a Mentor" plot in the series as it has been 
done.

I could be wrong (and am the first to admit I have been before), and 
I appologise if I lead anyone astray with my MD statement.

Cheers
