Dumbledore's death would not surprise me in the least.  However, I 
think we can safely assume he will indeed always be around in a way--
as a portrait.  Every Hogwarts Headmaster has a portrait.  As one of 
the greatest Wizards of the age, he's likely to perhaps have even 
more than one out and about the WW.  We shall surely see him in this 
way and I'll bet he's painted with a tin of lemon sherbets, too

Sherrie here:

Gracious goodness, hand me the Stupid Hat!  I'd forgotten about that - and 
I'm JUST rereading the part of OotP where the portraits of Dilys and the other 
fellow take a hand in things!  

But - suppose Albus's portrait doesn't get painted in time - or isn't 
complete when he dies?  What happens then?  Does the portrait only "come to life" if 
the subject is still alive when it's completed?
