This has been an interesting idea, and the more I read about it, the 
more I am swayed to think that maybe DD isn't really gone.  I tend to 
think he's actually dead (do you really think Hagrid could act out that 
kind of pain?).  But, DD is heavily connected with phoenixes 
thoroughout this book, Fawkes leaves the school (to look for his 
master?) and Harry thinks he sees a phoenix fly into the blue.  There 
was that flame before the white tomb encased his body too.  I'd be 
interested if anyone knows anything about the shroud.  Do stars and 
blue have any connection to anything?

I think that DD will definitely sacrifice himself for the greater good, 
and he has no problem with death.  He's said so many times.  So, until 
I get better evidence, I'm still on the side of "he's really gone."
