Throughout the series, Harry has traveled to King's Cross Station, either to depart for Hogwarts or return to London on the Hogwarts Express. The station has always symbolized the crossroad between the Muggle world and the Wizarding realm and Harry's constant shuffling between, and his conflict with, the two extremes. As Harry now finds himself at a transition point between life and death, it is purely to be expected that he would see it within his own mind asseeing a simulacrum of that station is purely expected. And though Dumbledore assures Harry that he (Harry) is not actually dead, it seems Harry can choose that option if he so wishes. Harry has literally and figuratively been stripped bare, and must decide either to board a train that will transport him to the "other side", or return to the living world and an opportunity to finally finish off Voldemort. Both choices are difficult choices. And though "moving on" seems frightening and contains many unknowns, Harry knows he would finally be at peace, as well as be reunited with his dead parents, and also Sirius, Lupin, and the others he has lost. Dumbledore had once told Harry that, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 17|"to the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure"]], a gateway to another realm, likely one that is better and more enjoyable than the living world, and it is a natural progression that should be embraced, not feared. But for Harry, who has yet to fully live his life, ithe would alsobe meanforced he mustto leave behind those he loves in the living world, especially Ginny, and any opportunity for a future with her. If he does go back, then Harry must still confront Voldemort's withvictory no guarantee he can win; hewould also realizesbe thatensured. heOnly is the only one whoHarry can kill the Dark Lord, and that countless lives now hinge on his returning, though there is no guarantee he can win. Harry also realizes that Dumbledore did indeed always love him, and Dumbledore's actions, pitting him against Voldemort, was only because he knew Harry was destined by fate to do so, rather than Dumbledore having personally decreed it. Harry's faith and trust in the headmaster have been restored.

Before Harry's makes afinal decision, more questions are answered. The creature on King's Cross' floor would appear to be Voldemort's soul shard that had been within Harry. While this is never explained in the book, Dumbledore tells Harry that his soul is now wholly his own. [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=121 According to the author in a later interview, however,] it was actually the remnant of Voldemort's original soul that was left in his body, flayed whenby it wasbeing sheared off for Horcruxes and damaged by his repeated murders.

We now have two viewpoints regarding what happened the night Dumbledore retrieved the Ring Horcrux. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Snape's]] memories only reveal [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|the aftermath]]. And Dumbledore seems reticent to explain exactly why he put on the Ring. The Horcrux within it was likely sentient and aware that anyone wearing it would be cursed - it would fight for its survival. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 19|Earlier]], the Locket Horcrux attempted to strangle Harry to protect itself, then, failing that, preyed upon [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron's]] emotions; would the Ring Horcrux have done any less? Dumbledore's desire was likely the same as Harry's: to be reunited with his deceased family. Recognizing the Horcrux as the Resurrection Stone, would he not, driven by guilt and desire, have been tempted to use the Stone to see them again? And would not the Horcrux, sensing this, entice him to put on the ring, knowing this should kill Dumbledore before he could destroy the Horcrux?

Dumbledore said Ariana's death was accidental. The question that continually haunted Dumbledore, and likely has been troubling Aberforth, was whose curse killed her. If it was Grindelwald, then presumably Aberforth would have sought revenge, and tried to kill him, though he probably would have been killed in the attempt. If it was Albus, then Aberforth would never have forgiven him. If it was Aberforth, then neither Aberforth nor Albus would be able to forgive himself, Aberforth for killing his own sister, and Albus for inflicting this tragic horror onto his brother. This uncertainty left the situation clouded, and prevented Albus and Aberforth from ever moving past Ariana's death, though it perhaps prevented the brothers from killing one another. Grindelwald, being considerably less caring, was only concerned that he could be blamed and took his usual course, running away.

Harry realizes Dumbledore planned either to die still commanding the Elder Wand, or expected that Snape would unknowingly become the Elder Wand's master, when Snape killed him, according to their prearranged plan. In either event, Dumbledore's expectation was that the Elder Wand would lose its power, either at his own death, or when Snape died without having had anyone challenge Snape for its possession. As there would be nobody left to challenge, the Wand would never transfer its allegiance to a new master. The plan failed to work out as Dumbledore intended; it has not yet been completely revealed how things did fall out, but it is likely that Voldemort, despite murdering Snape, is finding that the Elder Wand is still less responsive toresists his command.

Dumbledore, forever shamed by his delay to fight Grindelwald, chose to remain at Hogwarts, declining more prestigious appointments, solely to avoid succumbing again to power's seductive allure. It is difficult to imagine that Dumbledore, a brave and formidable wizard, could have ever feared anything or would leave others in peril. However, he ignored the Wizarding world's desperate pleas for help and avoided confronting Grindelwald for as long as he could because he dreaded learning that it may have been his own stray curse that accidentally killed his sister, Ariana;. heHe may also have foreseen, and feared, the demands that he become Minister for Magic following that duel. It is only after much bloodshed during Grindelwald's five-year rampage that Dumbledore finally relented and mustered the courage to faceduel him in a duel. Dumbledore's delay seems incomprehensible, and he could be considered indirectly responsible for many deaths during the interim. Dumbledore, however, understood that truth can be a person's most fearsome and crippling enemy, and itthat fear incapacitated him during those intervening years.
