That theory was pretty interesting. Definitely didn't change my mind about Dumbledore being dead though.
But GEEZ! I started reading some of the forum and those people started to get WAY too carried away with some of the ideas (IMO). I had to stop reading it cause it was annoying me.
One person actually said something like "DD could have fallen off the tower, then lifted the body bind on Harry, then broken the fake horcrux, then found the note, then.... blah blah blah." Right dude, he did all of that after being hit with a curse (even if it was a "soft" one) and while falling (even if it was slowed down". Sure he did. And just ignore the fact that he didn't even have his wand on him at the time.
And what is with people saying that Snape was casting two spells at the same time? One verbal, one non-verbal?!?!? Are you kidding? How would his wand know which one to listen to?
Some of that stuff just seems WAY too out in left field- even for JKR.
I really did find the idea of the lake in the cave being a potion really interesting though. But wasn't that a REALLY big lake? Can you imagine how much potion it would take to fill that up???

(1) where does JKR ever say that a portrait can only be in the HM office if the subject is dead; and (2) the theory is that DD drank the draught of the living death, and thus only appears to be dead (in a very deep sleep resembling death), and the portriat shows DD sleeping.

I do think there might be something to these ideas though. The idea that the portraits don't necessarily have to be of DEAD headmasters, but merely PAST headmasters. *shrug*
