Well, I believe that Dumbledore says a little bit more than that.
Remember those words in American edition, which did not make it to
British one? Unless of course you believe that JKR did not write
them and it was an editor mistake. :-)
"He cannot kill you if you are already dead. Come over to the right
side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can
possibly imagine." - HBP, p.592.
To me the implication of faked death is present here.
Now, don't get me wrong, I do NOT believe in Dumbledore's faked
death theory, but not because of presence or absence such clues in
the text, because we could find clues to support any theory we came
up with, IMO and dragon blood and some other stuff certainly can be
interpreted as clues.
I do NOT believe that JKR lies to us in interviews, I just don't and
she went over and over saying that Dumbledore is dead, dead, very
very dead, that she believes that it is more fun when hero has to do
his job alone and she specifically said in interview with Emmerson
and Mellissa that mentor always dies. So to me she cannot be any
clearer in proclaiming to the world that Dumbledore is dead.
But at the same time why can't we do some wishful thinking? You
know, while I just said all that stuff about interviews, I used to
believe that Sirius is coming back and deep down I still do ( you
know - no body and all that suff), even after Harry inherited
Kreacher, which cannot be clearer proof that Sirius is dead. Is it
wishful thinking? Of course it is, but it is part of the fun, so if
people believe that Dumbledore is coming back and come up with great
clues to support this theory - why not?
JMO,
Alla.
