I agree, help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.  We
can easily take that to mean that Dumbledore himself will always be the one
providing that help.  But I don't think that to be the case, especially
since many of us agree that he will not survive the series.  For many people
at Hogwarts, Harry will end up being the one to provide the help.  But who
will help Harry, I hear people asking right now.  He does get help from many
quarters, though.  Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid have all been known to help him
in the past.  For some reason, I have the feeling that, if Harry should ever
find himself in a situation where Dumbledore was dead, he was in dire need
of help and he actually asked for it, that Snape would help.  There is also
Fawkes to consider, as perhaps the other teachers.  There are many places
from which help can come, and they don't always include Dumbledore.
