If not dies, at least becomes unreachable - as Merlin with Arthur.  Though it 
is possible that Trelawney has been set up as a medium, who may later channel 
some of Dumbly's wisdom, I think was can expect to lose the old geezer either 
late in 5, or early in 6.

Which, depending upon WHEN it happens, & what the situation is at that time, 
may give us an interesting replacement - from what I'm given to understand, 
the Deupty Headmaster/Headmistress doesn't necessarily get the job as a 
permanent replacement...
