I saw that parallelism, too. Then last night I noticed another 
parallelism. In Chapter 26, when Dumbledore drinks the tenth and last 
goblet of potion in the cave, he appears to die. After Harry heaves 
him over onto his back, it says, "...Dumbledore's glasses were askew, 
his mouth agape, his eyes closed."

Now move to the scene at the foot of the Astronomy Tower in Chapter 
28. "Dumbledore's eyes were closed...Harry reached out and 
straightened the half-moon spectacles upon the crooked nose, and 
wiped a trickle of blood from the mouth with his own sleeve."

It does seem possible that the events in the cave are a preview of 
the subsequent events at the Astronomy Tower.
