We have to remember that J.K. Rowling herself lost her mother before book 1 
was published. She said she was going to change the details about Harry's 
parent's death, but then decided not to after her mom died. She pulls 
emotion of losing a close love one into the stories because it happens in 
real live, and sooner or later, we all deal with it. Sooner or later, we all 
have to learn to heal, and then move on with the business of living.

I hear you about the emotion- most of me was in denial about DD's death, and 
I would be much happier spinning tales about how he cheated death and still 
lives, but Rowling killed that fantasy with this summer's appearance and 
interviews at Harry, Carry and Gawp. My only hope still comes from rereading 
the early books, with the insightful one liners that DD gives. In one, he 
says that he will never truly be gone from Hogwarts until none there are 
loyal to him. He may be gone, but his powers are still lingering and strong. 
He will still give help to Harry in the end, I have no doubt of that.
