I wasn't aware of JKR's comments on DD being dead, so I always
suspected that he might not be because of a line in HBP, The
Lightning Struck Tower:
"He cannot kill you if you are already dead. Come over to the right
side Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can
possibly imagine..."
It sounds to me like he is referring to a *fake death* the WW's
version of a witness protection program.  And that perhaps JKR is
hinting to a possibility for DD... I'm still new and I don't know if
this has been discussed before.  So my question is, what are some
other interpretations of these lines?  I have to assume after the
Potter fiasco that he is not referring to a simple Fidelius Charm.
