I read somewhere that some people think it might be Spoiler: Regalus A Black (I'm sure I spelled the 1st name wrong), he was Sirius's brother and was a Death Eater. I think that is possible, he could actually be alive and in the Order's 'witness protection program,' but I think it will be someone new.
Some also think that Dumbledore was an animangus and his animal form was a phoenix. He was the trasnfiguration professor and it does seem as if a mastery of trasfiguration would be necessary for the job. When his tomb burst into flames Harry thought that he saw a phoenix rise from it.
I don't see why Dumbledore needs to be alive, except to prove to Harry that Snape was following orders by killing him. Harry could find out in a different way. The more I think of it the more I think Snape is a spy for the Order (so he'd be a triple agent?).
