Harry will need help in book 7, as he continues to mature and grow in 
his magical powers.  While Hermoine and Ron will surely be there, what 
about the idea of Harry ending up with his own Phoenix as an assistant 
and protector now that Dumbledore is gone?  

If it is true that Dumbledore will always be present at Hogwarts as 
long as there are people there who are loyal to him, surely Harry has 
now shown sufficient loyalty to have earned the continued aid of 
Dumbledore in the transcended form of the phoenix that Harry thought 
he may have seen flying away from Dumbledore's funeral near the end of 
Book 6! This type of plot twist is not without precedence ... Gandolf 
returns from his seeming death in Lord of the Rings, and Obi Wan 
Kenobi returns to assist or at least counsel, in another form, after 
being willingly smitten down by Darth Vader in Star Wars! 

Any thoughts or variations on this theme are more than welcome!
