Harry Potter Book 7 *Contains Spoilers*

This I always figured, but always thought about it more just for the idea of saving Draco. Now, I'm wondering if there is any kind of magic that is older than the rest know that deals with this, sacrificing oneself to keep another pure, and having one you trust do it for you. Could lead to interesting things here.

goes with the religious thing that JKR has hinted she would add to the final book as well.
 
lol, there are many religious symbols but if harry dies, then he would have to come back to life for it to be the religious symbol she is talking about.

And why would Harry come back to life. It's seems clear that he wants voldemort dead as well as himself (sometimes) so that he could be with his parents and serius.
 
Because Jo has said she is a christian; we then think about, what is the main act or miracle Jesus is known for? Dying and raising from the dead. Which she said before that came out that if people know her religion it would be easy to figure it out. Now, she may have changed it a bit since then. Yet, the fact remains that the "Death and Rebirth" issue is the most prominent part of Christianity. So therefore, that would be the number one thought. Because it deals with ones death. Evil must be triumphed over, and maybe death and rebirth will conquer that just as it did in the Bible. The question is, is it Harry's death or is it Dumbledore's? That is why I think it is quite possible for Dumbledore to come back. He is a very fatherlike/Godlike figure in the stories. He is basically everything people would want of a benevolant god. Think, he died to save Draco, and Draco can represent all of the people out there in the world. The very same people who thought they hated someone, but didn't realize how much that person loved them.

Ok, enough of that, I feel like I must sound like a preacher.

PS The book will of course end with a sense of emptiness. You know why? Because it is the last known book of the series we will have.
 
What if it wasn't Dumbldore that "came back"? I think that it could be Serius because he is like Jesus as well. He was put in Azkaban for something he did not do. Just like Jesus was killed for something he did not do.

Sirius also died trying to save Harry at the ministry. I get the point, but there was something extremely final (or at least more so than when Dumbledore died) about Sirius's death in OotP that makes me think he's staying dead for sure.

Why? Is it because he fell behind the curtain?

because he fell behing the curtain, and because there was much more thinking about it on Harry's part before he accepted it. It seems to me JKR spent longer dwelling on Harry's particular feelings when Sirius died than when Dumbledore died.

See when Dumbldore died (maybe not) only Hogwarts suffered a major blow.

I believe it still affected Harry. After all, after Sirius, Dumbledore was one of the people Harry trusted the most. It may not have been as big of a blow to him when Dumbledore died as it was when Sirius did (because there were more emotions involved with Harry and Sirius's relationship) but it still hurt him deeply.
Yet either from the fact that he had already learned to accept fate and death from Sirius's death, or from shock or denial, Harry wasn't as shooken up about it.

Do you think that he will return to Hogwarts?

No, I think that he will chose to go to his new house and find the locket there. Or Mundungas (not sure if I spelled that correctly) will have it.
