J K Rowling recently said that "there are two questions she's never been asked, but which she should be asked. Not 'Why did Harry live' but 'Why didn't Voldemort die?' and 'Why didn't Dumbledore kill, or try to kill, Voldemort?,' she said."To take the second one first: What if Dumbledore is Voldemort's brother? Or if Dumbledore IS Voldemort. Try saying Dumbledore when you've got a cold and my impeccable logic will be revealed. Sinus congestion? Aisle 5.
This makes my previously explored "Star Wars - Dumbledore as Obi Wan" theory more interesting. He has to go, doesn't he, before Harry can really fulfill his destiny as a mature hero? So will he go in a Palpatine v Mace Windu mighty mighty duel to end all duels with a sibling, or will he go because his cold clears up & his true identity is revealed....
