CV: I think it is RAB's last words as he is tortured
to death. But more importantly, it is further proof
that Dumbledore is alive. Why? Because only Dumbledore
knows what those words mean and only he can tell us.
If he doesn't ever get back to us, then it remains a
frustrating unresolved plot bunny. I don't think JKR
would do that to us.

So: Unresolved potion-speak plot bunny. AK didn't act
as AK's should. Body found smiling. Body found with
(dragon?) blood on mouth. Dragon blood used earlier in
the book in a deception. We don't know what the 12
uses of dragon's blood are and JKR told us that we
would know (another unresolved plot bunny).
Dumbledore's patronus appears at the funeral. (Who
shot it off if he didn't?) A flash of fire which was
also used in an earlier book for a flashy exit. Per
Nigellus, Dumbledore likes to exit in style. Come on,
folks! How many times does she have to hit us over the
head? Dumbledore is alive!
