Dumbledore can still play a vital role to Harry - through memories, pensieves, the Portrait of himself hanging in the Headmaster's office....It's really not that difficult for someone to be dead and still have an impact on you.
Yeh... pretty sure that I look up to loads of people who are dead, and that their ways of thinking and ideas still affect my life.
He's dead. He's dead. He's really, really, de-ad!

You have built up some fair arguements there, but nothing conclusive. There is plenty of evidence to argue the opposite (but it has been mentioned countless time in other threads, so I won't bother).I like the idea that the living death draught was planted there by members of the order of the phoenix (perhaps RAB is three people? R could be Remus, B could be Black) as part of an elaborate scheme against the Dark Lord.
My friend read the books over and over until she found a RAB. There was a Black named something that starts with R. If anyone could find it, it'd be my friend

No. Broadway Starlet. That last was sung to the tune of "So long, farewell, alfeidersien, good-night!" from "The Sound of Music."
Oh my dear Lordy Lord.

JK ROWLING HERSELF HAS SAID THIS AT THE HARRY, CARRIE, AND GARP READING.
When asked by an audience member if Dumbledore was, indeed, dead, she answered, (paraphrased) "Yes, he's gone. He's not going to pull a Gandalf." Then she paused, and said, "Maybe I'd better rephrase that to make this absolutely clear. Dumbledore is dead. It's time to move through the five stages of grief." Then she apologized to the makers of dumbledoresnotdead dot com.
If I have to explain this one more freakin' time, I shall blow a gasket.
*again, blows gasket.*

RAB is sirius' brother regulus black in the dutch book version they use a different word for black and it starts with an F and its RAF in the dutch book not RAB
I missed most of the clues while reading, because I was too shocked about Dumbledore's death, but, right before I finished reading the book, I got butterflies in my stomach... You know that feeling you get when lots of adrenaline is running in your blood when something hits you (no jokes, please)?
In my mind, came up a sentence instantly:
You've got to fool your friends in order to fool your enemies.
To me, Dumbledore is not dead!

Phantom - be careful of the torch you carry. The wax tends to drip.
He's dead folks. Please get over this.
It does not mean, however, that Dumbledore cannot still affect Harry from death.
1. His portrait.
2. His pensieve.
3. Memories about him from other people (like Dobby)
4. Fawkes.
Dumbledore IS. DEAD. I will gladly requote and requote what JK ROWLING HERSELF said about the matter: THAT HE IS DEAD.
Why is this so hard to believe? JK reveals so very little about her books, and what she does reveal, directly FROM HER MOUTH, is true. She does not tell us things to throw us off - she just doesn't answer if the answer is potentially a spoiler.
DUMBLEDORE IS DEAD.
"Go through the five stages of grief." I'll admit, one is denial, but I think we're taking this a bit too far?
