I am also of the humble opinion 
that if JKR decides to follow the classic pattern and kill off Albus 
then he too will enjoy a temporary ressurection, if only to give 
Harry one more bit of advice, though as to how he will die or what 
he'll say when (or if) he comes back are a mystery to me.

Sherrie here:

I'm not all that sure that Albus will come back, except in memory.  I see HP 
being more related to King Arthur than to Tolkien - and I can't recall any 
version of the Arthurian cycle in which Merlin, once sealed in his tree or cave 
or wherever, comes back to the world of the living.  (All right, Mary Stewart, 
sort of, but none of the classic versions does.)

I think Albus, once gone, will be gone, except as people invoke the wisdom 
within themselves that they've learned from him.  The only way I MIGHT see him 
making a "guest appearance" is if we were to discover that good old Sybill's 
true talent is as a trance channel.
