Tonks:
Well this might not be the popular idea, but I think that DD is 
imortal. I know everyone, or most everyone, else thinks that he is 
just a man, but I think that he is more than that. I think that is 
the reason why his patronis is a phoenix and that Faulks is around. 
I think that he is like the phoenix. So if I think that out, I guess 
it means he dies at some point, but never really. He always comes 
back. So in that way DD can never die. After all in SS/PS he says 
that he will never be gone from Hogwarts as long as someone there 
needs him, or was it believes in him. Anyway I think that means that 
he can not die. When the final book is written, I will slink off in 
a corner somewhere if it turns out that I am wrong.
