I somehow missed seeing your thoughts back when you posted them. I obviously have a higher tolerance for padding, but I take your points.
I didn't realise that we had to fall into those camps :-). On JRRT: in a recent interview JKR explicitly said, "Dumbledore won't be doing a Gandalf". But of course, Gandalf didn't die, so there is scope for Dumbledore being dead but returning to life somehow (though I don't think that's likely) and also scope for her to be lying. But it would be an appaling deus ex machina if he came back to pull Harry's arse out of the fire, and I don't think that will happen. Harry will have to do it alone, with whatever of his friends survive; and with help from Snape at the end, I'll bet.
But it's hard to see how they can fit enough pages between two covers for all that he has to do in one more book.
