Harry asks why, and DD answers "You are with me."  

that DD is not worried because "I  am with you." 

We've had many mentions of the tears and heartaches caused by the 
beauty of DD's line at the end... it just struck me as all the more 
meaningful given that (IMO obviously deliberate) foreshadowing and 
turnaround from the early part of the book.

Juli:

I agree with you Heather, it was beautiful. It made my heart beat 
faster, it really touched me, to have the greatest wizard of the age 
trust a 16 year old. In the beginning as you say, Harry is scared of 
a possible atteack, but he doesn't worry because he's with 
Dumbledore. And then, DD is poioned, in a lot of pain, and he 
doesn't worry because Harry's with him. I think it was a way for DD 
saying "Harry, my time's done, now it's up to you to save the world"

Juli - convincing herself there's no point of even trying to catch 
up with all the message.
