  sending off a message via his patronus would it not say "get me out 
  of here". 

  Andie:

  I've been searching quick quotes for some canon on thoughts that I have
  and I came across this sentence from a JKR interview, "Harry, Jessica and me
  July 8, 2000.
  "...but once you're dead you're dead.  No magic power can resurrect a
  TRULY (my emphasis) dead person."

  Is DD TRULY dead?  Re-reading HBP, pg 609, "The locket they had managed to steal
  so many hours before had fallen out of DD pocket.  It had opened, perhaps due to the
  force with which it hit the ground."  Did DD open it on his slow descent and find that
  the horcrux was a fake and realized it would be better if everyone at the moment
  thought him dead so he could go after it again without LV knowing the he was alive?

  And if DD is TRULY dead then from JRK website, "Wizards have ways of making 
  sure their voices are heard after their death."  

  So I'm sure that one way or another  Harry will receive help from DD.
