Lasereth... spoliers tags please.... (just put the words spoiler and /spoiler in square brackets at the beginning and end of your post)
Spoiler: I am on the fence on this one for two reasons... one the death is important for the reasons you mention as well as the fact that young Potter is forced to act as a man (he comes of age next book) and have no parental support (kind of like Giles leaving Buffy to fend for herself).
I also think it would be just magical, fun and an interesting twist to see Dumbledore come back... for me it would all depend on how the twist plays out.
Ultimately I tend you agree that he is best left dead... it is powerful event....
