Disregarding what she said, remember that the portraits do have some sort of life in them. They do not repeat catchphrases, as JKR said according to your words. Which leads me to the belief that rather than "catchphrases", it seems to instead capture more or less their attitudes, almost their souls.

How do we really know what Voldemort had intended? Sure she would say that he set out to kill Harry. It would be really stupid to tell the world, "Yeah, Voldemort actually went to Harry's to make him an undestroyable Horcrux. Because then everyone would just have killed Harry off as a baby to keep Voldemort from surviving. Because ya know, who would kill the famous kid that survived the greatest Dark Wizard who ever lived? Telling them that he went to kill the baby and survived makes him famous...and special. Who could kill this amazing kid then when he could possibly save us from such an evil returning?"
hmm... just a thought here. Snape could still be good, i mean Dumbledore had been poisoned and needed snap in order to live, in other words Dumbledore was already dying, when he originally arrived back in hogsmead he needed harry to go and get snape as quickly as possible, with the dark mark etc. these plans changed. The time in which Dumbledore was talking to malfoy may have meant that it was too late for snape to help him when he arrived. By snape then killing dumbledore he was effectively ending dumbledores pain and helping to make him self even more trustworthy in the eyes of the death eaters, he became an even greater spy.

I agree here... i dont think that dumbledore would ever beg for anyone not to kill him...He is the Greatest wizard ever! I think that he woz helping Malfoy survive and not become a murderer

Former heads of Hogwarts are the exception however, since they get to leave behind a very faint imprint of themselves. Ordinary portraits such as Mrs Black and Sir Cadogan are just catchphrases, but the true heads of Hogwarts (so not Umbridge) get to leave sentient portraits.

i totally agree w/u on that one.. bcuz i think that harry is goin to have to make a sacrifice to save every1... unless he gets a hercruxes and uses it... otherwise i think that he will have to kill himself...

just a few things I wanted to put out there:
Dumbledore is dead, I dooubt he is coming back no matter how much we want him to. His death was necessary although I was hoping it wouldn't be til the last book. Harry is coming of age and he has pretty much learned all he can to stand on his own two feet in the final battle against Voldemort.
I hope Harry does survive because it is possible they could both die in the last book. I doubt Harry, himself is a horcrux though. Why would Voldemort use him as a horcrux if he believes the prophecy that he has to kill him? They definitely have a connection as Dumbledore has said.
Also I think there may be an explanation behind Snape killing Dumbledore as well. But for now I'm still gonna hate him I think it is something along the lines of Dumbledore knew it was his time and maybe already discussed this plan w/ Snape so he wouldn't blow his cover with the death eaters.

i dont think that snape killed dumbledore just so he wouldnt blow his cover. y the heck would u do that? and anywaise remember snape yells in the end of hte book "its done!" also he did make a vow to malfoys mom. i think that he did it cuz he still believes in voldermort... anywaise it was suppose to be malfoy to kill dumbledore so y didnt snape just let malfoy do it. and even so if snape was really on the orders side he wouldve wanted dumbledore alive bcuz he is such a strong wizard... also in teh end of the 6th book dumbledore pleads w/snape not to kill him.

not really, all he says is severus please. for all we know, dumbley could be asking snape to kill him. he never says severus please dont kill me, so we cant know for sure

okay i heard that J.K has recently finished the 7th book..if she finishes them so early why does she wait so long to publish them i kno it takes a while to do all the editing and stuff but like a whole year??? and i heard they have already finished the 4th and 5th movie why is the 4th only coming out in november to me it seems like they take WAY too long for everything to come out
1. Harry is clearly connected to Voldemort in a supernatural way that seems to need a better explanation than "Voldemort tried to kill him."
harry has the feather of the same phoenix as Voldemort in his wand. And how else would Harry be able to speak snake. his parent's couldn't, but Voldemort could. And of course, Harry could sense Voldmort's feelings in book 5, and as said already, see through the snake in book 2.
2. It would be a perfect reason for Voldemort to almost die that night. He had finally broken his soul into the magic number seven parts. This would probably kill any wizard. (also Dumbledore thinks Voldemort had not yet made the sixth horcrux that night)
3. Voldemort had just committed a murder (Lily Potter) and so it was the right moment to create a horcrux.
4. This would explain why Snape so often protects Harry. He does not let Malfoy hurt Harry at the end of book 6 and says he belongs to Voldemort. A coinciding theory would be that Snape had a special mission from Voldemort to keep Harry Potter safe at Hogwarts.
-I don't think that Harry will have to kill himself to kill Voldemort. I bet Harry will be able to change the part of Voldemort that is within him with love or something along those lines. Harry's soul, pure and strong, will be able to defeat Voldemort's shattered soul inside him.
Okay, the seventh book is NOT done...where do people hear these things??? And they won't start shooting the next potter movie (5) until next year... The fourth one is still in post-production. I'm sorry to say: you heard wrong...
