I wanted to make a couple of observations.Hopefully
I've not violated any rules with this post.

I believe Dumbledore is dead for one reason. His
portrait appeared in the headmasters office. 

I don't know what went on with Snape in the tower. I
dislike Snape but do believe his is Dumbledore's man
through and through. So.... something wasn't as it
seemed in that scene but with the portrait in place
and the others following MM's instructions I can only
believe DD is gone.

As for the tossing of DD's body, we do know the
killing curse can have tremendous physical effects
from the destruction of the Potter's home to the
damage in the ministry during the duel with DD. Is it
possible to cast with degrees of power? 

Does anyone else think Snape used sectum sempre
against James in the pensieve scene? The effects seem
similiar. I've never felt comfortable with the whole
"poor Snape being picked on for no reason" aspect of
that memory. I have the feeling there was much history
behind that fight with both sides giving and taking
through the years.
