Najwa:
There is also the scene in Chamber of Secrets where Dumbledore says
"As long as there are those who remain loyal to me I will never truly
leave Hogwarts." Or something to that nature, but then again we have
the Hogwarts issue, because it looks like Harry will not return to
Hogwarts. I do not think he's alive, because not only do all the signs
point to Dumbledore truly being dead, but also because he has his own
link to the living through his portrait and probably other methods,
and also it would be almost be cheap of him to hide out and leave the
Wizarding World in such a dire state to a group of teenagers, Chosen
One or not.
