Hi everyone! So, the day we were all expecting finally
arrived. Was the book what you hoped for? For me it
was, and much more, I absolutely loved it. I like how
we got some answers to some old questions, like which
DE was Snape (Yes, the Dark Lord thought I had *left
him forever*, but he was wrong, Ch 2 p 29), why LV
trusts Snape (Ch 29), who got 12 GP ( But first of
all I must tell you that Sirius will was discovered a
week ago and that he left you everything he owned Ch
3 P 49), whether when Apparating you can take someone
with you (Were nearly there I can Apparate both of
us backdont worry Ch 26 P 578), who Blaise and
McLaggan are, why didnt LV died so many things,
which Im sure well discuss over and over.

But what was my biggest shock was Dumbledore dying,
when I read it I froze, I couldnt believe my eyes, so
I re-read it, and the words didnt change, Severus had
AKd Dumbledore. But I dont think he is truly dead.
Since forever there has been a relation between DD and
the Phoenix: His Patronus is a phoenix, hes one of
the few people whos ever had one as a pet, they
understand each other, his organization The Order of
the Phoenix

Theres this paragraph I found very interesting:
Bright, white flames had erupted around Dumbledores
body and the table upon which he lay: Higher and
higher they rose, obscuring the body. White smoke
spiraled into the air and made strange shapes: Harry
thought, for one heart-stopping moment, that he saw a
phoenix fly joyfully into the blue, but the next
second the fire had vanished (Ch 30 P 645).

I remember I had read months ago something about how a
phoenix is a man (a person) who after hes died,
becomes a phoenix. (It was in a post last year, but
its kinda hard to find). There are even some theories
that say that Godric Gryffindor is actually Fawkes. So
starting from there, hes my theory Dumbledore is not
dead, hes merely changed, hes become a phoenix.

Also, why did Severus AKd  Dumbledore? First lets
look at some canon:

 No, said Dumbledore, it is  Professor Snape whom
I need  [] Severus, said Dumbledore clearly. I
need Severus P 580 Ch 27

 I havent got any options said Malfoy, and he was
suddenly as white as Dumbledore. Ive got to do it!
Hell kill me! Hell kill my whole family!  P 591 Ch
27

 But somebody else had spoken Snapes name, quite
softly.
Severus
The sound frighten Harry beyond anything he had
experienced all evening. For the first time,
Dumbledore was pleading.
Snape said nothing, but walked forward and pushed
Malfoy roughly out of the way [] Snape gazed for a
moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and
hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
Severus please
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at
Dumbledore.
Avada Kedavra!  P 595-596 Ch 27

So I think this means Dumbledore begged Snape to kill
him, and why? First, to keep Draco from doing it
himself, Second, Dumbledore knew he was about to die
anyway, so better to do it quick and painlessly. Also
to mantain Snape's cover.

I think Draco Malfoy will change sides. Hell return
to Voldemort, hell be threaten, tortured, and who
knows what else, hell remember Dumbledore and his
goodness, how up to the last moment he was trying to
save him. He will go to Harry, Ron, and Hermione and
offer his help, since Harry already has a bit of faith
in him, he will allow him to do so. And the four of
them, together, will continue Dumbledores quest, they
will find the Horcruxes, destroy them, and ultimately
destroy Voldemort.
