Hey Sherry,

I am not going to lie to you; you gave me some very good arguments. 
Also, thanks so much for your time, and quick reply. Now, getting to 
the point, when you said, ¨If Dumbledore and Snape had some goofy 
plan, or even a serious plan, and if Snape indeed is the one who 
could better protect Harry, why didn't anyone think to tell Harry 
before it all happened? ¨ the reason I was inclined to believe this 
was because of  the OOTP. Remember when Dumbledore wouldn't tell 
Harry ANYTHING that was going on, till the end. It was so frustrating 
for Harry, he did not want to know much about Dumbledore because of 
this. I recall Harry yelling and yelling at Dumbledore for the way he 
chooses to do things. Indeed, Dumbledore could have prevented many 
things from happening, maybe even the death of Sirius. But this is 
just how Dumbledore operates. ¨You cant teach and old dog new 
tricks¨. Yes, it is true, Dumbledore recognizes that he made a fault, 
at that time, but that doesn't stop him of stumbling twice on the 
same rock. He is only human. And I am not saying that his mission is 
to torture Harry, although I know that Snape would get plenty of 
kicks out of it, but it wasn't Dumbledore´s mission to frustrate 
Harry on OOTP. Again, it is just the way he does things. 

And I also guess it was important for Harry to see Dumbledore die. I 
posted earlier:

Maybe Dumbledore was interested in Harry seeing him die. For 
instance, if Harry finally sees Dumbledore, the best Wizard ever, die 
before his eyes, maybe just maybe he would finally realize that he is 
also human. And with this, he would start to believe in himself, 
mature a lot, and acknowledge the great wizard he also is. Since in 
all the books he always doubts his powers, he is just human. For 
example, in the first book, after Hagrid tells him he is a wizzard, 
he does not believe it, even though all the weird stuff he had done 
throughout his life that he could not explain. And then afterwards he 
learned pretty well that he is a wizard, but could not believe that 
he is the wizzard that Dumbledore expects him to be. UNTIL NOW!

 In conclusion, I guess Dumbledore wanted Harry to meditate on his 
death, so that he starts believing in himself, as he did at the end 
of the 6th book, where it is obvious he has matured a lot. 
Furthermore, I can't remember who posted in ¨Of caves and Tarot 
cards¨, that maybe Dumbledore is a human Pheonix. That was really 
interesting too.

Best wishes,
Dilia
