When you die you "go on" to the next stage or you remain as a ghost, as we found out in OOTP. So what exactly are the paintings? Are they just a copy of the person? And if so, how do they retain memories of what they've done in the past? The fact is, that while there are the headmasters paintings in the office, the death of Dumbledore is insignificant. He was never going to kill Voldemort, he was just informing Harry, which he could still do. Ok so it would have been hard to reach him once Snape was in charge, but before he knew that would happen, Harry was always whining about how he'd "never get to talk to Dumbledore again" and "How could he leave him such an impossible task and tell him so little?" and "So many things I should have asked but didn't..." etc. The fact is Harry, you could have still asked him all those things, but you were just lazy and couldn't be bothered to walk to his office. Forget the Horcruxes, Voldemort should have just sketched a picture of himself for true immortality. Also, the biggest problem for me are the portraits.
