2. He'll return somehow stronger than ever, like Gandalf. But, unlike Gandalf, he won't return from death itself. He'll return as part of his own plan and was never really dead. But, in any case, he'll be back and even more potent.
3. He'll return but in a different form, like Obi-wan Kenobi. Maybe as a ghost or just in a headmaster's portrait, but Dumbledore will be present to help Harry somehow, all according to Dumbledore's own plan.
First off let me state that I have not decided whether or not DD is dead or if Snape is good.
In book 2 it was stated that Dumbledore was the Transfiguration Professor, perhaps he is an animungus- and his form is a phoenix..
in an interview I read somewhere it was stated that Harry would be getting a new pet, perhaps a pet phoenix that turns out to be DD (if not then perhaps Fawkes, who has helped HP before) who helps HP find destroy the Horcruxes and Voldy... because come on he is still a kid who needs help and DD would have recognized that.

So they had to step aside somehow, to let Harry face alone the hardest trials (friends don’t count as mentors and are aloud to help-considering their own growing up). Though, I feel sorry that Sirius died, he was my favorite character, mostly because he was a white sheep in a family of black’s.
