I've thought the possible same about Dumbledore and Snape, but I don't want to think it because I one thing I really like and admire in the series is that there is real cost, real pain and death matters. I always feel cheated when characters who die (and for whom we grieve) come back. While it fulfills us on the fantasy-wish level, it dishonors the reality of death.
I'm just hoping that Rowling didn't do that by having Dumbledore come back.
OTOH, I *still* have my doubts/confusion about Snape! (And that's fine and good--he can be either way so long as death remains real and painful and sacrifice actally *means* something!)
