Tonks:

Yes, he is dead. Very dead. Total dead. Dead indeed. It broke my heart. 
I was depressed for a month. I understand people not wanting it to be 
true. But it is true, for many reasons. There was no need to fake his 
death. But there was a need for him to die. I think in order to 
understand what will happen in book 7 we must except, hard as it is, 
that he is dead.
