Ah, denial is lovely! Although I like the idea that a phoenix is a man after death, I don't think anything JKR has said in her books and outside them points to a death being less than true death.

I believe that Dumbledore's patronus was probably a phoenix, but the white phoenix Harry saw flying to the sky was Dumbledore's soul off to heaven (or whatever metaphorical place you wish to call it). I also believe Dumbledore's family was there at the funeral (Aberforth, at least we know was there). And I believe that his trust in Snape will end up having something to do with family, though I'm not sure what.
