Pippin:
Would Voldemort believe that Dumbledore can be killed?
Slughorn had told him that Dumbledore doesn't want anyone to
know about horcruxes. I don't think Voldemort would believe
that Dumbledore *hadn't* constructed a horcrux. In that case
Voldemort would never believe that Draco had the slightest
chance of killing Dumbledore whatever. Bella, who appears
to know about horcruxes also, would probably think the same.

Not having JKR to set him straight, perhaps Voldemort
will spend Book Seven expecting Dumbledore to reappear.
