And this also explains why Dumbledore was looking so bad in his last 
year. I belive he was way past his burning day, but he was still 
holding on to "this life". I suppose that after each burning he would 
assume a different identity but he needed this one to sort things out. 
In order to prepare Harry and try and make some order in the mess that 
the ministry keeps making of things. His death after all does seem to 
have brought together all sorts of magical people even for a short 
time. (and this also doesn't make Snape a bloody traitor, as I refuse 
to see him, I even think Dumbledore had told Snape something of this. 
and that's what the whole pleading business is: Please Severus "trust 
me I'll be OK.")
