I don't know, I doubt Dumbledore would fake his death. I mean firstly it would be a bit heartless, he put off telling Harry about the prophecy for so long because of the effect it would have on Harry, then the year before Harry had lost Sirius... It just seems a bit cold to make Harry think he had died, making him think he had lost another person he cared about, which goes against the kindly way Dumbledore had been treating him.
And Dumbledore doesn't seem like the person who would fake his death. I think he was prepared to die if need be, if it was unavoidable, and throughout he seems to have made it clear there are things worse then death, although he might have wanted to live he knew that might not be possible. As well there has not really been any hint in the books about people coming back from the dead. Voldermort wasn't quite dead, ghosts are a different matter, so it would be a bit out there if suddenly Dumbledore came back.
Although what if Dumbledore's death helped Harry somehow? Like when his mother sacrificed herself which gave Harry that protection. Maybe something similar might have occured with Harry when Dumbledore died?

or dumbledore was a horax thats why voldemort was scared of DD cos he was scared he might hurt him (or along those lines) and he new he had to die hence snape
I didn't mean to imply that Dumbledore split his soul, I doubt he'd do that, what I meant is that the potion physically split Dumbledore in two. One lying in the cave the other "dead" at Hogwarts.
Another thing that's been bothering me about Dumbledore. His sudden fraility. In OotP he's charging down into the heat of battle, fearless full of anger, capturing deatheaters fighting Voldemort to a draw and yet, in HPB mere weeks later he's "slowing down" from age???
Don't buy it. It's a con job set up by Dumbledore and Snape. They've put together a ruse to lead Voldemort into a sense of invulnerability, with DD out of the way Voldie is thinking he's free. Nope.
Prediction:Harry will be helped by an unseen individual in book 7 and that individual will turn out to be Dumbledore. DD may only turn up after the final battle is over but he will turn up in the end.
Harry said/thought it himself. All of his life he relied on others to stand in his way protecting him from Voldemort. His Mother, Sirius, and Dumbledore. Dumbledore's death forced Harry to the realization that he had to grow up and fight a man's fight.
That was why IMHO Dumbledore was showing Harry his research into the horcruxes. He was preparing Harry for his(Dumbledore's) "death" showing him the path on how he could fight and defeat Voldemort.
Harry is the one.
Dumbledore, by faking his death, could as I have said, work unseen by Voldemort and the Deatheaters and The Ministry and help Harry much more than he could if he were still "alive".
Dumbledore knew he was a distraction to Harry and Voldemort and The Ministry I mean, how many times in HBP did someone wonder what Dumbledore was up to? Dumbledore was being followed, he was
forced to stun ministry wizards go out of his way to avoid detection.
But now that he's dead? No one would know what he's up to or where he's going.
He needed to die to help harry, and I believe that in the end whatever pain Dumbledore's death may have caused Harry would be worth it if it helped, in the end to save Harry's life.
Not banking on it, really, but I would not be surprised if DD shows up again in Book 7 Alive and well.

If Dumbledore is to help Harry a lot in the next book there is only one way that it could technically happen. Dumbledore could act through another person, by sending letters to the one person he "Trusts with his life" quote from Chapter 1, book 1. RUBEUS HAGRID.

ok dudes. dumbledore is NOT dead.
the avada does not send you flying back into the air.
snape was sayin avada kedavra and didnt mean it. REMEMBER WHAT MOODY SAYS, AND BELLATRIX, YOU NEED TO MEAN THEM. but he was nonverbally saying something else, thats why dumbledore flew back.
fawkes probably caught him as he fell or he did a simple charm to make himself safe from the impact.
thats why nonverbal spells were mentioned so much in this book.
snape was angry because he didnt want to hurt dumbledore when he sent him flying back.,
hagrid heard them arguing that snape didnt want to do somthing but dumby said he had to.
about the unbreakable vow, who said there wasnt a time limit.
he did everything he could to "help" draco but he wouldnt let snape help him.
he obviously lied to narcissa and bellatrix after he looked into her mind since it was all she could think about and pretended voldy told him about the plan. so the plan he and dumbledore made would work, so snape would be trusted by voldy when he """"kills"""" dumbledore, remaining a spy for dumby ..

He actually didn't fly back, sorry to ruin such a good theory. It says he falls backwards off the ramparts. Its not like his body will sit straight up, it will slouch over. Its like an egg, can you balance an egg standing completely up?

The pheonix theory was well thought out. I'm beginning to think thats the most reasonable of all. But JKR has her own ideas and we'll just have to see! But i would love to hear any more Clues or Theories that people have
