As much as I hate to say it, I think it is possible. Poor Neville 
*sob* On the other hand, I still see him as future Hogwarts professor 
and I stick with this opinion, until it is proven otherwise. *g* 
Therefore he probably has to live. I mean, Binns is a professor, too, 
but he teaches the only subject, where you doesn't need a body. A 
ghost can't teach Herbology or DADA. I agree with you that Dumbledore 
will be ready for the next great adventure. He'll probably return as 
a portrait and will be able to give some advice, but I don't see him 
as the ghost type.

What about Colin? I actually can see him as a ghost. He is exactly 
the type, who won't even shut up, when he is dead. Therefore this 
would fit. ;-) Besides, ghosts have also highly interesting 
Nicknames, and if he came back, it could finally be canon to call 
him "Crazy Colin" or even "Crazy Creevey". JKR has to do this, just 
for the alliterations.
