I think the book mentions Harry thinking he saw a phoenix rise when Dumbledore's body bursts into flames during the funeral. I don't know if DD will actually come back from the dead, but since he's been such an important presence throughout the series I can see him still present somehow in the last book.
What I can't really see is what's so important about Snape's old schoolbook and nickname anyway for it to figure in the title of the book. It's not like it reveals anything new apart from the fact that he's a half-blood; we already know that he's always been obsessed with Dark Arts and has a major nasty vindictive streak in his character. I don't see why he'd want to hush-hush the fact that the book belonged to him either; compared to the other stuff on his resume it's practically harmless.
A theory's been mentioned that Snape made an Unbreakable Vow with Dumbledore promising to take care of Harry or something like that; I somehow can't really see it though. Can you really call it "trust" when what you basically have is a threat of death hanging over another person's head? It's like, "do what you promised, or else". Almost blackmail, really.
