I was SO angered with Snape when I read the book the first time (just because I've always been so attached to Dumbledore). Then, I re-read part of the book (toward the end) and was starting to second-guess Snape's involvement with the Death Eaters. I really don't know what to think; I want to know that he's guilty, but at the same time, part of me thinks he's innocent. Sigh.

Yeah I was thinking that! Snape was one of my favourite characters and I always had a soft spot for him, so I felt kind of shocked that he just killed Dumbledore with such ease. but that's a good theory I like it and makes me feel a little easier about loving Snape. hehe

I think you're onto a lot of stuff. I mean, I really need to go back and read the book over again cause I mean, there's gotta be hints all over the place. I agree with the Snape coward thing, I agree with the Dumble/Snape secret convo...

But then again, there's the whole nagging Unbreakable Vow thing... I mean no matter what, Snape would have to follow through cause Draco couldn't.

Ugh... if only I wasn't at work, then I'd be able to just grab my book and figure it out!

It never appears to me that Snape kills Dumbledore for Malfoy’s sake. I don’t believe Draco was under an Unbreakable Vow to kill Dumbledore (otherwise he would have died when Snape did so instead) but rather under the threat of death. Snape, on the other hand, was. If he hadn’t killed Dumbledore, he, Snape, would have died instantly. It was an act of necessity ( ... )

One thing that my sisters and I noticed when we were reading: Snape is always enjoying to torture someone / something. Think of Harry's detentions, his look of satisfaction after doing something wicked to Gryffindor. Sure, it might just be the rivalry, but he is always happy and satisfied with himself after he has done something that would cause others to suffer because of that twisted sense in him, being the complex character that he is ( ... )
