Dumbledore is dead/is not dead

I had a theory on the whole 'Dumbledore is dead/is not dead'
discussion that I would like to share.

I think that the biggest (and well founded) arguments for DD not
being dead is that when most people get hit with the AK curse, they
fall down with their eyes open and a look of terror on their faces.
But when Snape alegedly hit DD with the curse, DD flew up into the
air, and then later Harry noted that DD looked like he was sleeping
peacefully.

I think Dumbledore knew he was going to die months ago and planned
for it.  He had been searching for the Horcruxes, he mostly like
knew that Volde had fatal traps guarding them. Draco's task was to
kill him, etc etc. (whether DD knew, or suspected what draco's task
was, is a whole 'nother issue!)

I suspect that DD was near death while on the Astronomy Tower, then
Snape hit him with a non-verbal Banishment or Repelling Charm, but
said, "Avada Kadavra" out loud.  Then, either the fall finally
killed him or he allowd himself to die at that point, since he had
accomplish what he wanted.   Draco didn't become a murderer, the
Malfoys would be killed because Draco didn't complete his task, and
Harry, having witnessed all this, has the motivation to go after
Snape...leading him the Volde.

Just some thought!
