Dumbledores' Death EXPLAINED

Today I'm gonna tell you why this scene is awesome :)
First of all, there's the situation with Malfoy. You see, he prepared for this moment the whole year. He got the job from Voldemort himself, so he knows there are a lot of things at stake, and we know he's not really the nice guy. But although all of this things pointing to him killing Dumbledore, he just can't do it. It shows that there is, infact, an inherent good in humans, a drive to be kind to our next ones, even if our parents and friends make us hate them, and there could be a danger for oureselves if we did the right thing.

But much more interesting is the thought process in Dumbledores head, at least for me. He knows he's gonna get killed, hell, he even made Snape promise that he would kill him if Draco didn't, but he doesn't try to escape or run away from his fate (which I'm sure he easily could). Instead, he uses his own death as a weapon, and a most powerful one. There are many things he accomplishes with it:
Firstly he buys time. With his death he calms down Voldemort, who will (probably) not be as attentive as he would be if the one man he ever feard (as they say) would still be alive.
Secondly, he proves that justice, liberty and all the other good stuff are not just idle words written on some paper, but values that we all have to defend and fight for, sometimes even if it means to give up our life for it. Of course, you don't have to jump from a bridge the next time an american TV channel censors "fuck" out of a movie, but look at all the dead rebels in Lybia: They are all little Dumbledores, every one of them given their life for one of these words.
Thirdly, he wants to prove a point to the Death Eaters. I guess there are better fates than to die from the final course, like potions or stuff. But he chooses to die in front of such vile people as Bellatrix Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback. He does so to show them that even their own people have feelings and emotions, namely Malfoy. An unimportant side act is that, of course, he protects Snape from being questioned in his loyality by Voldemort.
Ultimately, his death poses as a wake-up-call for the whole world of Wizards and Witches. Of course, by the time of the sixth book (or movie) the return of Voldemort wasn't questioned anymore, and preparations were taken. But you know, there still was Dumbledore. He would get it right, right?

So, these are my thoughts on the scene. If you have anything to add: Comments :)

Well you didnt mention that: Dumbledore planned for Harry to survive. He's known for a long while that Harry is a Horcrux but hes thinking how do i save this innocent boy. He does it by Making sure Voldemort gets the elder wand but is not its master. And that Harry is the Master of the Elder wand. Draco disarms Dumbledore making him the wand's master and Harry beats/disarms Draco at Malfoy's Manor. Sooo...when Voldemort uses the killing curse on Harry all he manages to kill is the Horcrux
