New Thought About Snape

Has anyone ever thought that maybe Snape has to protect Harry? Like, an Unbreakable Vow sort of thing done with Dumbledore? Or maybe his life-debt to James carried over because he failed to save James?
Because it seems that he really does hate Harry, but he keeps "saving" him (at least twice) and Dumbledore has always been so adamant about trusting Snape, but never saying why...

Oooooooh, I never thought about that. That's a great idea and very plausible. JKR is always laying things out and making them more important later.

I'm not really sure if Snape's trying to help Harry or help L.V. I mean he didn't really seem like he whole heartedly cared if he (L.V.) got 'im.

I dunno. But I know one thing: If Draco turns good then Snape will have to die if Voldy goes after him. Whether he protects Draco or not. Voldy will either kill him for disobeying or he'll die for breaking the bond.

What??
Sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding that....

Okay, well ponder this...

Dumbledore got Snape to teach Hary Occlumency, and never gave a reason. Maybe the reason was that Snape is a VERY well precrised Occlumens, and he is better than Voldermort, but Voldermort doesn't know that. It could very well happen.

If this is true, Dumbledore may trust Snape because - having this thing means he can bat for Dumbledore, as well as be an inside spy on Voldermort.

Also, that thing about him protectsing Harry is not a bad idea, and it could easily be what happens later in the 7th book.

This may mean, that in the 7th book, he tells that he may have had to kill Dumbledore to protect Harry, but this is a lot more farfetched idea than him protcting Harry.

But then again, why does Ron keep saying that he suspects Snape is dodgy? JKR would NOT have put that there for no reason. Everything in her books have a reason for being there.

Well that's me!

I agree with you Mione, it sounds so correct but I think JK's gonna make it more complicated than this.[b]

That could work. Especially if Voldemort knows, it would be an excuse for Snape not killing Harry. Then again, why would Snape lie about it to Bellatrix?
Have I mentioned my theory about Snape's hate?
He did give the reason. Remember that every time Harry's eyes met Dumbledore's, he got that snake urge to kill. Dumbledore knew that Voldemort's connection to Harry was wide open.
I would bet on it.

Why would Voldemort have to know? I personally believe that Snape has fooled Voldemort through and through...and that Voldemort wanted that satisfaction of killing Harry himself, so he wouldn't be too concerned with Snape not killing Harry..does that make sense?
