i entirely agree with you about snape. when i read the crucial passage, and dumbledore said "severus, please", he wasn't begging for his life, he was imploring snape to kill him. the frequent mentioning of the phoenix does suggest that dumbledore will be back, either in the flesh or through pulling an obi-wan. either way, we haven't seen the last of him.
the real question i have is what happens to hogwarts. dumbledore was the main driving force of the place, and with him gone, it will be interesting to see who steps up to fill his rather enormous shoes.
the possible redemption of malfoy was also a theme i figured would be coming up sooner or later, and i suspect it ties in with harry's whole "power of love" thingy that he's got going.
