Why when Harry uses the Resurrection Stone, as he walks into the forest, does he not see Dumbledore? He sees his parents, Sirius, Lupin (who had just died earlier?) He obviously loved and missed Dumbledore (he kept hoping it was his blue eye in the mirror).

I do recognize the stone didn't just return a list of randomly dead people (people you didn't care to see). But Dumbledore and Harry had bonded deeply; certainly more than Lupin.

I was wondering the same thing. I think that at the time Harry had only wanted to see Lupin, Sirius and his parents. Besides, he had just seen Spane and Dumbledore a few minutes earlier and then sees Dumbledore a few minutes later. But here's some other possible reasons.
Moody, Fred, Tonks and some of the others who died (Cedric, Collin) would have kinda ruined the sentimental moment between the two people Harry was close to and his parents.
Snape hated James, Sirius and Lupin and loved Lily. That would have been akward.
Dumbledore DOES technically appear though isn't through the power of the stone. Jo might not have wanted him to appear just yet.
I don't think many people would have been too happy if Wormtail appeared.

Finally, another original question that hasn't been asked!
Well, all I can say is that he didn't want to Dumbledore at that moment. Maybe JK Rowling saved him for later because as we know, Harry saw Dumbledore when he sacrificed himself, so he still got to see him anyway.

alot of people didn't appear. like tonks, snape, and fred. he probably didn't appear, because Harry was mad at Dumbledore because he never told Harry that he had to die anyways. and Harry is going to meet Dumbeldore in about 10 minutes anyway, so that probably why JK Rowling didn't make him come out of the reserection stone.
hope i helped,
have a nice day!!

i dont think the stone brings everyone back, just the people that u want to see.. i guess at this point he wasnt concerned with him, he just wanted to be with his family again in his "final moments".
