Snow: ". . . . . For those of you who could not help but take a peek
at who has been rumored to die in HBP, you already know then that it
has been said to be Dumbledore. At first, remembering that Dumbledore
was also rumored to die in OOP, I dismissed it as nothing more than
hype. I personally can't see how Dumbledore's death could further the
storyline other than Harry loses all his mentors and loved one's, like
Job in the bible, and still stays strong in his convictions."

Man people are convinced that Dumbledore will die towards the end of
this book or in Book 7, not because of any clues, but because it's a
common thing in quest literature and it works thematically that Harry
must complete his quest alone, without his mentor and protector. The
torch will be passed. ("No more training do you need.")

The Fawkes idea is interesting. Who will become Fawkes's companion on
Dumbledore's death? Who else?  It makes you wonder who Fawkes has been
with before, since DD is his master for an eyeblink of time. Is it
always the Headmaster?
