Dumbledore might be alive

On the website the Red Hen, www.redhen-publications.com it has been 
theorized that Dumbledore was wearing a physical shield for the AK 
curse.  Although no spell will block the AK, we know objects will 
block the spell from the graveyard scene in GOF.  Dumbledore may 
have been sinking down with the weight of the object that was meant 
to protect him.  It sure seems that he was not surprised to find 
Draco or to make the request of Severus.  Shock was not described by 
JKR.  Also when Draco says he lured DD there with the DE sign, 
Dumbledore answers Well yes and no ...  This is the same answer he 
gives Harry in SS about the Mirror of Erised when Harry is not quite 
right about his guess of the mirror's purpose.  I cannot understand 
the answer unless DD purposely showed up for the appointment with 
Draco and eventually Severus.  Falls are not fatal to wizards.  
Neville is an example of this in SS when he tells how his family 
tested his magical ability. DD's fall is described as if it was in 
slow motion and no one saw him hit bottom.  In addition AK does not 
blast the person into the air.

The point I an unable to refute is the presence of DD's picture in 
the headmaster's office.  I suppose those pictures can indicate the 
headmaster is simply former as opposed to dead and former.  DD will 
be back but not before the end of Book 7.
