There is one other thing that I've thought of that's extremely farfetched and TOTALLY grasping at straws, but it's something that I've definitely thought about lately, especially since I refuse to believe that Dumbledore is really dead. *cries*



DON'T START YELLING AT ME!! I know it's completely random and totally whacked to say it, but why not? We know that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945. Also, during the 40s, Tom Riddle Jr., aka Lord Voldemort, was building his army of DEs and still learning the beginnings of the Dark Arts, and also learning of the horcrux.

I have a point I swear. Everyone associates Dumbledore with the phoenix. It would only make sense for him to "rise from the ashes" as so many phoenixes are supposed to do. For him to do this then, it would only make sense that he would have a horcrux. And even if he didn't mean to do it for seeking immortality, or to use the Dark Arts simply to use them, he couldn't help but kill Grindelwald in order to defeat him, right? So he killed Grindelwald, and created his own horcrux knowing that eventually another Dark Lord was going to rise in the form of Tom Riddle? He's powerful, this we know, and he knows he's powerful and that other people know that he is. Perhaps another prophesy that we have yet to hear?

We know that Albus Dumbledore knows a helluvalot more than he ever let on. Maybe he knows more about the horcruxes than he let on. The only reason he wanted Slughorn's memory is to find out how much Tom Riddle knows about horcruxes.

Meh...I have to get ready for work...but I'm going to think more on this later...

The problem with that is... I dunno, the fact that Horcruxes are Teh Ebil is sort of stressed heavily. I don't think it's just the act of killing that creates a Horcrux. I mean, if that were true, Voldemort would have a lot more than seven. And all the DEs would have a fair number as well. It's not just killing another, it's tearing out part of your own soul at the same time. Dumbledore seemed so adamant that it was such a terrible, terrible thing to do.

Now, mind, I think the phoenix has something to do with it. I mean, duh, death and rebirth. But I don't think it's a Horcrux situation. I think he'll find a greater power in death -- in a spiritual form that can't be harmed, that can't decay like his physical form was beginning to -- than he could maintain any longer in life. Like Obi-Wan said, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Yeah...I know. I'm just grasping at completely impossible possibilities. O_O If that even makes sense.

But YES!! PHOENIX!! tee hee...did you see the YODA!MOMENT on page 443? it was so fantastical. *giggles* dude...HBP has brought out the conspiracy theorist in me...it's so sad.

No. There alot more to a Horcrux than just killing. One has to kill for more than just self defense and necessity. It stems from the will and desire to kill and in killing profit. Dumbledore isn't the type of man who would track down Grindelwald to kill him and profit like that.

*cries* I know. I really REALLY REALLY don't want him to be dead though.
