Why Dumbledore Had to Die

There's been a lot of debating over whether or not Dumbledore is dead for 
various reasons; however I'd like to recall one of the major themes of the 
Harry Potter book series -- overcoming challenges.  In my mind in order to 
have a satisfying ending to the series Harry will need to prove himself more 
so than he has done already.  In previous books he has always had a mentor 
to help and guide him, even if he never fully took advantage of their 
presence.  Dumbledore has been there as a pillar for Harry, and Harry knew 
that whenever he found himself in serious trouble Dumbledore would always be 
there to help him.  With Dumbledore and Sirius gone, the two living people 
Harry has looked up to the most, Harry will need to face Voldemort without 
their guidance.  This is my opinion on why Dumbledore and Sirius are dead 
for good -- their coming back will not allow Harry to live up to his fullest 
potential.

a 'ruthless killer')
