I have to post this, so forgive me if it seems strange.  My husband has 
asked me to ask for your venerable opinions on the matter of DD.  He 
seems to think that Dumbledore created a Horcrux for himself and that 
he's therefore not really dead, or that he could come back.  Now, who 
has DD killed?  Well, it doesn't really say "killed" but it says on the 
back of his chocolate frog that he "defeated" Grindevald in 1945.  In 
JKR's recent interview she said that the time of his death was 
important and that he is bigger than he seems.

IMO, I think that this is a really evil piece of magic for DD to 
perform, and I'm wondering why he would have created this for himself?  
It doesn't strike me as very DD-ish to fear death so much to create 
something that would keep him from really dying.  I'm more interested 
in his connection to phoenixes.  Will he arise from the flames?  We did 
see a flash of fire before he disappeared under his tomb.  Forgive me 
if this has already been fleshed out more.  I'm in the middle of the 
book for the second time, so I'm still a bit sketchy on certain details.

Be kind.
