What If (Doug's Theory)

What if Dumbledore is a phoenix animagus. At his funeral his body was
hidden by white flames and then Harry for a brief moment thought he saw a phoenix soaring. If this were true Snape had to be in on a plot not with LV but with Dumbledore to make LV think Dumbledore is dead & put Snape in place as LV's right hand man (ready to help take him down when the time comes.) Harry's safety in the meantime was insured by his return to his family home at the Dursleys until he's seventeen. If this is true it opens up a host of possiblities for how the final book will develop. Finding the horcruxes would be much easier by a Dumbledore presumed dead and lots of twists & turns finding out who was in on the plot(the anti LV organization is called "the order of the phoenix" after all.)
