ok. obviously there are spoilers from the 6th book. but since were all hardcore fans. I can't imagine anyone who hasn't read it yet.









oi. ok, the death of dumbledore hit me really really hard. but what really tore me apart is that even after Snape killed him. I still trusted him... I didn't believe he was dead untill Harry saw his body... And that made me hate Snape even more. The fact that I still trusted him.
My friend had an interesting theory that I've been heartfully thinking about in all aspects. But there are a lot of open ends. The theory is that Snape is still good, and that Dumbledore planned his death. I know, sounds a bit insane. I don't have my heart into it. But hear me out.
One big clue toward this is the argument Hagrid overheard. (pg. 405)

" "Well -- I jus' heard Snape sayin' Dumbledore took too much fer granted an' maybe he -- Snape -- didn' wan' ter do it anymore --"
"Do what?"
"I dunno, Harry, it sounded like Snape was feelin' a bit overworked, tha's all -- anyway, Dumbledore told him flat out he'd agreed ter do it an' that was all there was to it. Pretty firm with him. ----" "

This could go either way. It could mean that Snape didn't want to go through with killing Dumbledore. But Dumbledore thought it was the only way.

Now one thing I really didn't get about this theory is that what would be the perpose of killing Dumbledore? Well the only thing I could come up with is that this was the only way for Snape to become truelly close to Voldemort. Maybe Snape had to do something for Harry. Weaken Voldemort, lead him astray, take somthing, I do not know.

What kills me is that we still do not know why Dumbledore trusted Snape. Yes, we heard Harry's version of what he thought it was. But we never heard it from Dumbledore. I think in the end, weather Snape is good or bad, we will probably hear how he got Dumbledore to trust him.

Now I also thought,. But Dumbledore pleaded with Snape. But he never said "save me" he just said. "Please, Snape". wich could mean he was asking him to go through with their plan. Buty also, I think when "revulsion and hatred" is etched in Snapes face when he is looking at Dumbledore, I'm not sure that was the case.

Ok. most of my proof towards this theory is expressed. now I have a greater amount of info against my own theory. hehe.

the argument in the forest also could have been Snape not wanting to go through with staying on their side (or somthing of that matter).

And of course there is the million and 1 proof as Snape being truly evil and never really on the good side. hehe. But I wanted to mention something. OIn another topic in this forum, someone (hermione?) brought up that J.K> Rowling had said that there was a huge clue in book 1. I think it might be the fact that Harry got a pain in his scar FROM SNAPE. Harry has never had his scar hurt from anyone else but Voldemort (correct me if i'm wrong). Now I just don't know what that means. But it doesn't bode well. It could mean something that Snape was connected to Voldemort, probably by the Dark Mark, or maybe Snape was really really close to voldemort. Because i don't think Harry would get a pain in his scar just from soemone who was a death eater. So this also opens up a theory that Snape is a horcrux. Ack! ok I think I'm just going far out here. ok. I think all my thoughts are out.

p.s. sucked that I finished the book after my mom. so when I started sobbing i had to say it was "that time of the month" and I was stressed. As to not give away that someone was going to die.
