I have to agree. I don't think Dumbledore is going to live through all 7 
books. OTOH, I do think he will be back after his death. Whether it is 
Gandalf-like and he is reborn (which I doubt), ghostlike as is the Fat Friar (which I 
also doubt), or something else, Dumbledore will not forsake Harry. <g> Remember 
"Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it" or something 
like that!
