Humbug.

I agree that Spoiler: Dumbledore arranged Snape to attack him, but given the statement Spoiler: that there are worse things that can happen than death that Rowling would allow Spoiler: Dumbledore's sacrafice to be erased. It just seems like a Spoiler: cheap gimmic to have the death be reversed.

We are coming up on the last book. Events like Spoiler: the death of Dumbledore help highlight the huge amount of importance to what is at stake.

While the Spoiler: Dumbledore is not dead page has some good points, I refuse to swallow it...

The best points that page has are:
* Spoiler: Unforgiveable curses require that you mean them.
* Spoiler: The body was never seen after it was lieing on the ground.
and finally
* Spoiler: The difference between the US and UK editions of the book.

So it maybe has a point. But if the page is right, then the books are worse than if the page is wrong.
