Sorry for an unintended empty post.

Yes, I also subscribe to the theory that Dumbledore's death was 
faked.  A wizard of his powers surely might have pulled this off.

As for a motive:

Dumbledore says to Harry that Voldemort wouldn't want the person who 
drunk the green potion to die immediately; he would want to 
interrogate them.  I think that implies that Voldemort would be 
somehow alerted to the fact that somebody meddled with his Horcrux.  
I wonder if V-mort would be able to determine who the person in 
question was.  I suspect he would be able to pin down Dumbledore as 
the offender.  Now, Voldie gets the general idea that Dumbledore is 
after his horcruxes.  But if D-dore fakes own death immediately 
after visiting the cave, maybe Voldie calms down a little.  
Especially if he gets the idea that Dumbledore was alone in the cave 
enterprise.  So the Horcrux hunt can be continued without Voldie's 
interference.

Cheers,
