Bright, white flames had erupted around Dumbledore's body and the
table upon which it lay.... White smoke spiraled into the air and made
strange shapes: Harry thought, for one-heart-stopping moment, that he
saw a phoenix fly joyfully into the blue, but next second the fire had
vanished.

Kemper now:
I am assuming that the phoenix Harry saw is actually Dumbledore's
spirit as I'm under the impression that the patronus represents the
soul.  The Dementor's Kiss sucks the soul out of it's victim.  It
seems natural that the corporeal patronus would reflect the soul and
hope, fighting back against a soul-eater and despair.
No canon.  Just running with the idea.

So, if the smokey phoenix is DD's spirit, then why did it not leave
upon DD's death?

Another impression I get, though probably with more canonical support,
is that DD's a planner.  DD's a man who would plan for his death.  Do
we think anyone else came up with magic behind the white flames, white
smoke (with phoenix) and white tomb?  This seems to be DD having set
his affairs in order just in case he loses his life in the war against
Voldemort.

One of thing he may also have planned for, is a way to help Harry from
beyond the tomb.  Not by means of a ghost: DD's not afraid to die.
Not by a portrait: it would be an echo of DD, empty, hollow and
redundant.  Not by a memory: pensieves have been ad nauseam.  I'm
thinking the help would come from DD's phoenix spirit.  (JKR mentioned
to Daniel Radcliffe she was having trouble with DD, maybe she was
having trouble anthropomorphizing the phoenix with DD?)

DD's spirit (soul) will be allowed to remain on earth by means of an
Opposite Horcrux.

Voldemort would not know of this type of magic.

HBP, US soft, 444, LV to DD:
"But nothing I have seen in the world has supported your famous
pronouncements that love is more powerful than my kind of magic,
Dumbledore."

The Horcrux selfishly benefits the Dark Wizard.  The Opposite Horcrux
would need to selflessly benefit another.  This other person would
have to be someone the Light Wizard loves.

OP, US soft, 828, DD to Harry:
"I cared about you too much.... I cared more for your happiness than
your knowing the truth, more for your peace of mind than my plan, more
for your life than the lives that might be lost if the plan failed.
In other words, I acted exactly as Voldemort expects we fools who love
to act."

Dumbledore loves Harry more than he loves any other student.  I would
wager that he loves Harry above all other living people around this
time... though maybe Hagrid would be a close second.

I speculate that we will see Dumbledore's phoenix spirit aid Harry in
his quest to vanquish the Dark Lord.  His soul's time on Earth might
be until Harry's quest is over or it might be for a short time only
(40 days, anyone?) before his phoenix soul soars and ascends into the
next great adventure.

Kemper, imploring forgiveness for any lapses in reason... it's late...
or is it early?
