JLV: True, but it is just a rumour.

JLV: Except our hero Harry Potter! Hasn't he learnt anything from 
Godric's Hollow? Well, perhaps not...

JLV: I'm sure Harry did help at first, at least during PS and CoS. the 
outcomes of PoA and GoF (which weren't great on the surface) may come 
to be useful when the time comes to defeat Voldie.

JLV: Harry  can - he already has his own version of the Order - the 
DA - and I'm sure that, now he's older, Harry will be capable of going 
it alone. He has many of Voldemort's own special powers and he is 
capable of becoming a very powerful wizard. If he can just... keep... 
calm...

JLV: It will be dangerous, yes, (and exciting for us readers) but I'm 
sure Harry will pull through. He has to if the Good is to win over the 
Evil.

JLV: Except Harry - seriously - the series is about Harry Potter, not 
Dumbledore. It *will* be down to Harry alone in the end. Dumbledore 
will *not* step in in the final battle. This is Harry's destiny, and 
his alone. I am sure of this (still it is JMHO!)

And anyway, if Dumbledore does bite the big one, who says he has to be 
murdered by Voldemort? Why can't he pass away of old age - it must 
happen to some wizards and he is very old. The narrative occasionally 
notes that Harry has noticed how very old Dumbledore looks. I'm sure 
Dumbledore would prefer to pass peacefully than be blown up... at 
least *I* would.

And anyway, I hope Dumbledore doesn't buy the farm, but I can see that 
if he did, it wouldn't (literally) be the end of the world.

Just My Opinion,
JLV xx
