I read  an interview with JKR in which she talked about how she cried when 
she wrote  
the death. Her husband (?) (who did not know WHO died) said   something to 
the effect 
of "well don't kill him" but she said he had to  die. She'd known it for a 
long time but 
went along in denial until she had  to write it. I'm pretty certain that DD 
is dead dead. 
I've often thought  about killing off your characters as being something that 
must be 
most  difficult to do. (I will be most disappointed, however, if she is 
ruthless  enough 
to kill HP. I don't think that will happen. <crosses  fingers>. )

Sherrie here:
 
IIRC, that interview appeared before OotP - she was referring, not to  
Dumbledore's death, but to the death of Sirius.  Not that I don't think she  was 
upset about Dumbledore, or that she didn't "know" that he had to die!
