I think i have a simplistic, yet workable theory of what's happened between Snape and Dumbledore. Snape was, of course, a double agent, and i believe ultimately for Voldemort's side. From what I can gather, he told Dumbledore whatever information the Dark Lord could spare that would not put him in any danger, but still seemed rather important. So for things like let's say, Draco trying to take Dumbledore's life, well Severus could let Dumbledore know that, because no one really has faith that Draco will succeed. But as for the unbreakable vow that Snape makes (which i'm almost certain Snape knew about), that was kept under wraps, so that Dumbledore would let his guard down for Snape to be able to kill him. This would account for Dumbledore having full knowledge of Draco's plan.

Besides that, which i could be totally wrong on, does anyone else find it...not strange, but curious that current Voldemort does not appear even once throughout the entire novel? As much as he is made reference to, not once does he actually do anything that we know about. Weird.

i think he was saying/referring to the fact that someone pointed out that snape DIDNT know why he had to protect draco, that he did not know draco is serving the dark lord, etc. in other words he thought narcissa was talking about something else.

anyway i can finally open this thread, i finished the book (i finally got it out of my sisters hands). god, i cried so much it is not funny. i was so mad at jk rowling... because if there was one person i did not expect to die, it was dumbledore

it was my favourite hp book until dumbledore died and then i HATED it. and by hate i mean i was SO ANGRY i kicked something.
its. so fricking sad
(sorry to be late and redundant)



i never thught Regulus would be the R.A.B. but it seems it would make sort of sense... and the theories about how dumbledore wanted snape to kill him is amazing, i never thought about that.. dammit i loved snape until now and now its' all weird cuz we dont know if hes truly evil.

Afe i totally saw the Smith connection i was like Hmmmm because there is no way rowling would choose a aforementioned last name if it didnt mean something.

and yeah.. these theories are very enlightening. i just wish i had something to contribute as meaningful as this. i didnt want to belive dumbledore was dead so i kept reading faster and faster until i had like 4 pages left and then i was downright ugly-angry cuz it means dumbledore won't come back. i was hoping a The man who lived-type of miracle.

if dumbledore is an animagus, i think it would make the most sense for himto be a phoenix.

even after a day im still devastated... i really really really wish he didnt have to die.. and the worst of it all is that someone had already told me this before i finished the book but i thought they were kidding because in my head there was simply no way dumbledore dies. booooo

The movies have no credit to the real Potter verse. Hell in the beginning of the third movie Harry was practicing magic in his home during the summer vacation. Not only is he not allowed to do magic, he's not allowed to do magic in front of muggles so he would be in serious shit for that. The movies have been off on many occasions.

As for Snape being good, there is a interview floating around the internet with JK after book 6 was released so they discuss spoilers. When the talked about Snape someone mentioned there were people with theories (most likely about how he was still good but that was never said) and JK's response was "cling to some desperate hope" So perhaps thats a clue that the Snape is good thing is just not going to happen.

I think my favorite thing in the whole book is still the Lupin/Tonks thing. That was amazing.
