Is Dumbledore really dead?

The good folks at BeyondHogwarts have written up a great article discussing this question: Is Dumbledore really dead? Some points:

Dumbledore’s Big Chill: “The only explanation could be that Dumbledore already knew, had already planned, that he would die this night (or appear to die), and not only did he not want Harry to become involved and possibly be injured himself, he needed Harry to be a witness, to be able to tell everyone else what happened.”
Let’s All Play Dead Together:: “Dumbledore is saying he has ways that could make it appear that Draco died when he really hadn’t. If we believe that Dumbledore is about to fake his own death, doesn’t what he’s suggesting for Draco sound exactly like what we suspect that Dumbledore has planned for himself? At the very least, if Dumbledore’s planning his own death, he’s suggesting Draco follow a similar, yet not as drastic, plan, that he disappear as well.”

There’s much more, and it’s very well-written. Be sure to take a look yourself at the Dumbledore Clues.
