I'm glad you're not hurting much. And you're wise to leave the heavy duty pain killers alone if you can. Tell your sister to baby you a bit. You should definitely take advantage of your down time.;) (and yes, I know who she is.)
Gryf-- Eat whatever doesn't hurt: soup (warm, not hot), ice cream, pudding...soft stuff that you don't have to chew, but that has a lot of nutrition. Cold will probably feel better than hot.
About Snape: I was with you on this--thinking he's still good--until my husband pointed out that in the scene on the roof Snape has an expression of utter loathing on his face when he's pointing his wand at DD. And DD actually *pleads for his life* (Until I realized that, I was clinging to the idea that DD had planned it all.)
I think Snape was good until DD let him have the DADA job. He'd always withheld that post from Snape, afraid that it would lure him back to the dark side. And I think that's exactly what it did. I wish it weren't true, but I'm afraid it is.
I'm really on the fence about this one. I don't think that he would plead for his life -- it seems like a very un-Dumbledoreish thing to do -- but at the same time I'm not in the camp that believes he was pleading for Snape to put him out of his misery.
I do think that there was more to the scene than meets the eye, but neither of the above interpretations seems quite right to me. I can see the scene from both sides, but I think that Dumbledore was either pleading for Snape to not give up his cover as a spy, or to not abandon the Order and return to Voldemort.
Sorry, I just had to say that. Somehow it seems more in-character for Dumbledore to be concerned with the welfare of the Order and helping the good side, rather than his own life.
