sceptics rebutal:
1. actually it says at the end of the paragraph that he "fell slowly akcward, like a great rag doll, over the battlements and out of sight." which holds to the other times the curse was used. i dont know why she used the term "blasted into the air", but would have to guess that its since hes going over the battlements hes going to be airborne.
2. theres more than one reason for snape wanting dumbledore dead, even if hes a good guy as many suspect. all that you have to do is intend to kill the victim, not hate the victim. and i would have to say that there were enough people around experienced with what the avada kedavra curse looks like to know the difference between the true thing and an immitation, i mean you're talking about a squad of deatheaters here.
3. i have no idea where your getting that his body wasn't recovered. it specifically says that harry and hagrid find his body and harry doesnt want to leave it, its also where he discovers that the locket was no an actual horcrux and the note from RAB...
1. if you fall like a rag doll then you shouldn't be "blasted into the air" right? the definition of "blasted" and "fell" are different. i don't think jk rowling would simply throw in the words blasted into air for no apparent reason. actually the spell most resembles expelliarmus.
"Both of them swung their wands above their heads and pointed them at their opponent; Snape cried: "Expelliarmus!" There was a dazzling flash of scarlet light and Lockhart was blasted off his feet: He flew backward off the stage, smashed into the wall, and slid down it to sprawl on the floor"
"Harry made up his mind in a split second. Before Snape could take even one step toward him, he had raised his wand. "Expelliarmus!" he yelled -- except that his wasn't the only voice that shouted. There was a blast that made the door rattle on its hinges; Snape was lifted off his feet and slammed into the wall, then slid down it to the floor, a trickle of blood oozing from under his hair. He had been knocked out. Harry looked around. Both Ron and Hermione had tried to disarm Snape at exactly the same moment"
both these instances of expelliarmus show that the person is lifted from their feet, and blasted through the air. but expelliarmus is red as opposed to the green color of avada kedavra and when expelliarmus was used on dumbledore it only sent his wand flying out of his hand.
2. i said that there's a slight possibility that snape did not intend to kill the victim, not that he didn't hate the victim

this makes it so that it's possible that Snape said the curse, but didn't really want Dumbledore to die which might mean that the curse didn't kill him.
3. meant to say the body is not seen after that moment because it's covered up. then at the funeral the body bursts into flames by itself, but that might be because it's charmed to do so? "White smoke spiraled into the air and made strange shapes: Harry thought, for one heart-stopping moment, that he saw a phoenix fly joyfully into the blue, but next second the fire had vanished." maybe it was fawkes or another phoenix in the coffin?
once again. ^all bullshit. it'd be so corny if dumbledore is alive
