“Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn’t realize that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign … to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.”

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”
- Albus Dumbledore
Dumbledore’s patronus was a phoenix. Many say that it is because he was never afraid of death, rather he considered it as the “next great adventure.” So in a way, he never truly died: his death would only bring about a new existence. A fun fact about phoenixes: “Phoenixes that have been domesticated are extremely loyal magical familiars to their owners, and would depart to find their own paths if their owners die, rather than finding a new master.” Besides, is there any other creature magnificent enough to represent Dumbledore? I think not.
