[HPforGrownups] Merlin-DD (wasRe: Cheating

The main reason I think DD is dead, dead as we know it, is that I don't 
think JKR would kill someone in one book and have all the kiddies and 
adults wait years before finding out he's alive. If she was going to do 
that, I think she would have completed it in one book. Of course, Black 
didn't think DD would hire anyone who had ever worked for LV. So, who 
knows.

I read the chapter titles before starting the book. Boy, was that 
misleading! As soon as I saw a chapter about a cave, I knew DD was 
going just like Merlin...only the cave didn't exactly work out that way.

The most recent Merlin story I've read was by Mary Stewart. In her 
version Merlin is put in the cave, but is not really dead. He does come 
back to advise Arthur, but keeps an otherwise low profile. I haven't 
had the time to see if the older versions include Merlin's return or 
not. All the strange things around the funeral seem to point that way.

But I wouldn't hold my breath.

  We have to remember also that Dumbledore can make himself invisible without the invisibility cloak. They cannot actually see the body as it says in HBP, " Bright, white flames had erupted around Dumbledore's body and the table upon which it lay: higher and higher they rose, obscuring the body." What if during that time he made himself invisible. 
  There's also this thing that I found in the HP lexicon that Dumbledore can cast spell without wand. That will surely is something to think about too, when Harry was freed from the freezing charm Dumbledore cast on him. So even without a wand he could have unfreeze with non verbal spell before he fell off the tower. Just a thought, still can't get over Dumbledore's death. I need to re-read all the HP books again to see where DD cast a spell without wand.
