Peg, I couldn't agree more! I think it's critical to the storyline and to the underlying messages that Dumbledore remain "properly dead." She has said categorically that magic can't bring back the dead, and I was glad she didn't do this with Sirius (and can't imagine Dumbledore being anymore apt to become a ghost than Sirius was -- not the man for whom death is just the next great adventure). No, I think he's dead.
I do wonder if perhaps the member of the Order of the Phoenix that we've not met properly though might not be Fawkes himself.
Then again, my theories are more apt to be wrong than not!
This is Penny, btw (I chose a moniker for LJ-land that reveals none of my real name ----- a first for me!).
