The last time we really saw Dumbledore's body was when Harry is kneeling over it shortly after he has been killed by Snape the previous day. Now, we see Hagrid carry the body of Dumbledore into his funeral, but it's covered:

“Hagrid was walking slowly up the aisle between the chairs. He was crying quite silently, his face gleaming with tears, and ( Read more... )

At the very begining of the big scene between Draco, Dumbledore and Snape, one of the first things that happens is Dumbledore loses his wand:

We've seen Fawkes come in at the last moment and save Harry's life in Chamber of Secrets:

“As Harry trembled, ready to close his eyes if it turned, he saw what had distracted the snake. Fawkes was soaring around its head, and the basilisk was snapping furiously at him with fangs long and thin as sabers -- Fawkes dived. His long golden beak sunk ( Read more... )
