Dumbledore calling Voldemort Tom was one of my favorite Dumbledore moments ever. I agree with your analysis of his motives.

Not sure about Dumbledore's fate. Rowling will probably get him out of the way somehow, but I'm sure she'll do it in a creative and unexpected way. A good writer doesn't force characters and plot in convenient directions. She, er, guides them. Therefore, whatever happens will be convincingly unpredictable.

Of course, if we always thought along those lines, we wouldn't be able to speculate, and what fun would that be?

If she does kill him, I'm probably going to cry.
