Dumbledore's Death

I think it is possible that Dumbledore is not dead.  Instead
perhaps someone else, who was paying off a debt (a life debt), died in
his place.

The polyjuice potion could have been used to make this person
appear to look like Dumbledore (except for a silver hand) controlled
by an Imperious to do and say what a hidden  (or perhaps in another
guise, spiders come to mind) Dumbledore commands.  And Dumbledore
could use the same polyjuice potion to appear as that person.  Later
the person need not to be alive, only that a sufficient amount of
their hair is saved.

I think that if it was not Dumbledore than it might have been PP.  I can not think why JKR would put him in the chapter "Spinner's End" and not mention him again in the entire book unless she may be referring to him at a later point.

 

But there is also other evidence that it may be PP.  For instance when "DD" was drinking the potion containing the hocrux he started to scream with pain "make it stop, make it stop" (just paraphrasing) this reminded me of the time in GoF when PP cut off his hand and was wimpering in agony.  I think that the potion would make the drinker relive horrible memories.  

 

Next,  "DD" also started to scream "Don't kill them kill me" (again paraphrasing) this makes me think that PP was there the night Lily and James was killed and after he was forced to give voldermont the info, pleaded with LV not to kill them.  I remember in PoA when PP said when talking about LV, "you have no idea the weapon he possess."  

 

Lastly, I have been wondering about DD injured right hand for a long time.  I think that if polyjuice potion was taken by PP it would not transform the silver hand he got from LV.  Remember what hermione said in CoS "its only for human transformation" so the hand made of silver would not transform correctly leaving a dead, burned hand.  

 

this is just a hypothesis but you never know with JKR
