But if Derek does die, I hope he only 'dies' temporarily while defending someone, and he is later brought back to life (possibly by Peter!). Considering all the characters in the show that have technically died/ come back from the brink of death...

I agree about the role Derek is fitting into this Season. Seems like he's developing into and would be a natural at being a beta (second-in-command) leader. Who all has died and come back with the exception of peter also coming back from the brink of death is a lot different than acutally dying.

Off the top of my head:

Scott, Stiles & Allison technically died to be the surrogate sacrifices.

The fused Alpha Twin 'died' and the twins are no longer Alphas.

Jackson died (twice?) before finally becoming a werewolf.

Peter died with a backup plan and influenced Lydia to use Derek to bring him back to life.

Victoria & Kate Argent died but reappear in dreams/hallucinations.

And near-deaths:

It was widely assumed by the audience that Braedon was dead until she returned in 'More Bad Than Good'.

Derek & Peter thought Cora died in the fire (though this was retconned in)

Julia/Jennifer would have died if not for the coincidence of Paige's timely death under the Nemeton - did Paige's spirit live on in Jennifer?

We were supposed to think Derek died in Season 1 'Night School' until he reappeared.

And probably a few others...

Anyway I do believe (like a lot of fans) that the show is trying to make character deaths more permanent & serious this Season.

Kate and Victoria don't count as coming back to life. As they are only in Allison's head. At least at this point in time.

The twins should really be considered 'near deaths', not dead and resurrected

Cora was not, as far as we know, near death in the normal sense, they just didn't know she was alive.

There is a large difference between dead and near death.
