Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been assuming.

In terms of plot speculation, I'm just wondering -- since I suspect there's something more to know about that potion -- whether it has anything to do with Dumbledore coming to mind as someone to tell us wasn't Jesus. *g*

Or it could have been just because he's the character people have most commonly suggested as a metaphor for God. Or, for that matter, to avoid anybody thinking the really freaky funeral with phoenix imagery would mean he was going to be up and around in a few days....
