Finwitch:

That makes me wonder - now that Dumbledore *himself* is a portrait - 
why matter? Is he bound to tell McGonagall everything now? But all 
that Portrait Dumbledore has done so far, is sleeping. At any case, 
discussion between McGonagall & Portrait!Dumbledore would be quite 
interesting to read... or would it be something silly like:

"... But he killed you, Albus!"
"I trust Severus Snape." (I don't know about you, but if anyone tells 
Albus that Snape killed him - and that portrait-Albus STILL says he 
trusts Severus Snape, I'm going to laugh hard...)

Maybe first chapter in the next book? Before we get to Harry's pov, 
that is. Add Aberforth to the picture -- Keeper of Dumbledore's 
memories as well as his brother... and Albus Dumbledore's legacy. Is 
Aberforth going to get everything (as only living relative so far as 
we know) or is there a will giving a little something to 
Harry/teachers/Hogwarts? (You know - like Firebolts for ALL Quidditch 
teams or some sort of fund for students who have hard time getting to 
school or something to aid the order...)
