The personality of Albus Dumbledore and that of his faithful companion,
Fawkes, seem to have much in common. JKR has stated that Dumbledore's
patronus is a phoenix. That points to DD being much more of the Christ
figure than Harry does: like Fawkes, DD has the power of reincarnation.
However, I don't think DD is going to be re-incarnated as himself, in
the way that Fawkes does.

DD, as the avatar of good, is re-incarnated in another body/person, just
as his opposite, Voldemort, is periodically reincarnated in a suitable
person, as the avatar of evil.

I just know that DD  is going to sacrifice himself for the good of the
WW before the end of VW11 is nigh.
It seems quite logical to me that Harry is the next 'avatar of good' to
follow Dumbledore. Dumbledore will not truly have left Hogwarts while
those still faithful to him look to him for guidance, even from beyond
the grave.

JKR has stated that Harry will gain a new pet before the series ends,
and that pet must surely be Fawkes. Harry has demonstrated his loyalty,
and Fawkes has shown his affection for Harry. I think Fawkes has marked 
Harry as the next incarnation of good that he, Fawkes, will be loyal to.

If this line of thought is correct, then Harry will survive and 
Voldemort will not. Voldemort's next incarnation will be Draco Malfoy's 
son, and Harry will have to teach a new pupil/avatar of good how to 
overcome the new avatar of evil........
