I’ve been wanting to revisit Harry’s first Potions lecture with Snape and toss some thoughts around about the draught of living death. But Janet’s newest “Setups and Payoffs” post is up, and it covers a lot of what I had wanted to say. It’s excellent reading, and you’ll get a lot of insight into that first class, and she also summarizes well the reasons Dumbledore is actually, really dead.

That is a very nice article. Short, simple, but to the point. Thanks for the link!

The link was very beneficial. .Thanks.Most of the constantly nagging thoughts have been cleared!Hurrah for that!But It still seems to be a bit unbelievable,I mean, DD cannot die just like that,I mean he was such a powerful wizard and all that.
