You read it right. Check out the site www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com created by David Haber. David, like most HP fans, was shocked when Dumbledore was killed by Snape. However he has meticulously ferreted out and explained various clues in the book that indicate that Dumbledore is not dead, or even if he is dead it is all a part of his grand plan to defeat Voldemort.

David says:

Caught up in the roller coaster of J.K.'s marvelous and fantastic mysteries, Snape's betrayal and the death of Dumbledore caught me completely by surprise. Dumbledore was dead, and on top of that, Snape had done it.

My brand-new copy of Half-Blood Prince became as tear-stained as one of Hagrid's notes, and I remained upset about it all the rest of the day.

But after sleeping on it, the next day I realized that there were important clues about Snape and Dumbledore that I had missed. And the more I looked back, the more clues I found, realizing that they had been there all along.

And all of the clues point to two possibilities, that Dumbledore's not really dead, or at the very least, that Snape's not really a Death Eater, and he killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore ordered him to, as part of a grand plan.

The site indeed has spoilers so do NOT read it if you have not read the book.

Thanks to Nidhi for letting me know about this site to me. I wonder why there is no reference of this site anywhere (on any of the many Harry Potter sites or Wikipedia articles devoted to the Harry Potter world). I also wonder whether this is a Nidhi I know or a complete stranger :-)
