In JKR's lastest interview at the Edinburgh Book Festival She was asked

>What form does Dumbledore’s Patronus take?

>Good question. Can anyone guess? You have had a clue. There was a little 
whisper there. >It is a phoenix, which is very representative of Dumbledore for 
reasons that I am sure you >can guess.

Now, there is some theories in fandom floating around that have to do with 
Harry and Voldemort's immortality, or more prevalently, their mortality...but 
has anyone thought about Dumbledore?  I mean, Dumbledore is presented as Very 
Old, he also worked with NIcolas Flamel on the stone, and he is the only wizard 
Voldemort fears (and now, JKR compares him to a Phoeniz).  from what we know 
about the phoenix, they die and are then reborn, making them immortal.  I think 
it is very likely that Dumbledore is the only truly immortal character.  In 
my personal opinion, I beleive that DD has to sacrifice himself for Harry at 
the end of the series, as in, Harry and Dumbledore both cannot coexist because 
they are so similar to each other and it could never be two powerful good 
wizards (HP and DD) versus one (Voldemort).  I also support the idea that neither 
Harry nor Voldemort can live in order to bring the end to dark wizardry.  
Therefore, two out of these three main charcters (HP, VM, DD) need to die.  How 
about Voldemort and Harry both dieing at the hands of DD, then DD passing his 
immortality and sacrificing his own life for Harry, who will be "reborn" like the 
Phoenix as the boy who lived again, filling the void in the WW left by the 
death of Dumbledore.  This series will not end without major implications from 
Dumbledore--he is like the patriarch of the wizarding world

Just a very noncohesive Thought...anyone agree?
