I think that the guess is that it was a fake DD all the way through the night.

ys, but it is a VEEEEERY big guess.
what are the odds of it being true??? JK told us someone was going to die, and it would be a big dissappointement if she lied to us. |

Dumbledore is dead.
Long live Dumbledore. There is no warrant in any of the books to date for a living person being able to act as the portraits of the former Headmasters do. I think that Dumbledore's presence in the framed picture in the Headmaster's office is the final nail in Dumbledore's physical extant existence. However, as JKR has been at pains to point out, death is not the end, merely the next great adventure. IT is clear that there is the possibility of action from beyond the veil. Think how many times that has been explored - particularly at the graveyard battle between HP and LV. The whole former headmaster/picture convention: former headmasters retain personality, will, and limited action in the physical world - in fact, they function in a supranatural existence of some sort. So, I think Dumbledore will be able to act within those constraints as the prior incidents have indicated, i.e., he will be able to give advice and information to his successor - if they wish it and ask for it. So, who'll be the next Headmaster?

No, not McGonagall. I don't have a candidate myself, but I don't think McGonagall will be headmaster. She could and would handle the job, I'm sure, but I think that she isn't fitable to replace Dumbledore in such hard times. I don't know who it might be, but I don't think, and I also don't really hope it's going to be McGonagall.
Besides, a thing I wondered about. Will Hogwarts be present in the next book? In the ending of HBP, Harry says he's going to leave and not coming back to the school. In that case, will we here of Hogwarts other than briefly? I would at least have visited Dumbledore on the Headmasters Office for guidance, if I could, assuming he is dead and can speak from the Frame on the wall. But besides that, and other small things, I don't really think the book will tell us that much of Hogwarts.

Well if Hogwarts is in book 7 I think McGonagall will be headmistress, it's not like she would hire somebody else in times like these, and novody has any reason to kick her out...

Then too perhaps the school will shut down for the next book and the OOTP members will help HP against LV?

I thought of Fudge too, but he's too dull and too scared to lead Hogwarts, the school has a superbe high reputation (though now very damaged too) and an ex-prime minister who refused to handle the Voldemort matter properly and who mostly counterworked DD would not be the first choice I think :s

Harry or Hermione? (once they're a lot older)
