In THE MAGICAL WORLD OF HARRY POTTER by David Colbert, he points out 
two passages from two different books, and makes a great topic for 
discussion, [(¨J.R.R. Lord of the Rings) Gandalf´s long white hair, 
his sweeping silver beard, and his broad shoulders, made him look 
like some wise king of ancient legend. In his aged face under great 
snowy brows his dark eyes were set like coals that could leap 
suddenly to fire.¨ That description echoes the scene in Goblet of 
fire when Dumbledore realizes Barty Crouch Jr. has been disguised as 
Mad-Eye Moody: ¨There was cold fury in every line of the ancient 
face, a sense of power radiated from Dumbledore as though he were 
giving off burning heat.¨]  

Where I am going with this, and you may have already gotten there, is 
that maybe Rowlings was giving us a clue. For instance, Gandalf 
obviously dies in the first book of LotR, yet in the second book, of 
Lord of the Rings, he has been sent back from the other world, 
¨heaven, I would guess¨ to middle earth again. In other words, he 
dies and returns. Furthermore, he is the only character, throughout 
the whole story, that does something as great as this. In conclusion, 
I am considering the chances that something like this could happen to 
Dumbledore.

Now stay with me on this, I'm changing the topic a bit, to consider 
other possibilities, don't quit reading because I have a question for 
all of my fellow HPFGUP friends
 Once you drink the elixir of life, 
known as the Sorcerer's Stone, how much does it lasts until you need 
another drink? In the first book, I recall the memory of Nicholas 
Flamel and his wife drinking it. I also think, I can't remember well, 
I'll look for it in a while, that Dumbledore also took it. 

Nevertheless, here is another question for you guys. Don't you think 
that we are not giving Dumbledore the credit he disserves? For 
example, maybe he was right about Snape, maybe just maybe 
Dumbledore´s down fall was Snape´s promise to protect Malfoy.

I mean, think about it! Snape had to make that promise, or else, the 
death eaters would know he was really on Dumbledore´s side. Not with 
standing, Snape could have died if Malfoy did not complete the task; 
moreover, perhaps Snape knew something that we did not. For instance, 
that Dumbledore was already dying, his hand was rotting, and that he, 
Snape, was a better of a use, for Harry, alive than Dumbledore dead. 
Or that he and Dumbledore had talked about something like the 
encounter they had was going to happen, and they planed it, hence it 
was all a hoax. That could explain why Dumbledore froze Harry, so 
that he would not ruin the performance that was going to take place. 

I just can't accept that Dumbledore got killed the way it happened, 
it does not convince me. I mean the Order of Merlin (First Class), 
Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International 
Confederation of Wizards, and the Wizzard who defeated Grindelewald 
in 1945? Nahh!

Can I get some comments on this? Id love to hear what you guys have 
to say?!?!

Sincerely,
Dilia
