Book Discussion

The question that I really want to know the answer for is Why did (I hate saying 'did' not does! ) Dumbledore trust Snape.
Whether Snape is Voldemorts man, or whether hes Dumbledores man, this question is still relevant. Any ideas?

i have a funny feeling dumbledore made an unbreakable vow with snape. i think it was that snape promised not to kill dumbledore until harry knew everything. i think that was why snape killed him, when harry knew everything. snape knew he'd gone to get the horcrux, and he'd gotten back, hadn't he? draco was originally assigned it, but snape knew he couldn't do it, so he made the unbreakable vow anyway. i mean, dunbledore HAD to die, didn't he? now, with him gone, harry knows how to defeat voldemort. he has more knowledge about voldmort and how to defeat him than anyone (except voldemort, obviously). so, dumbledore knew that only HARRY could defeat voldemort, and snape knew it too, hearing the prophecy, or most of it, that night in the inn, right? anybody else think he made an unbreakable vow with snape??? i know it's far fetched but i think it's right. <_<

it isposabel but i think snape is just a big asshole

who doesn't james

I am sorry if I sound to harsh, but that is one of the worst ideas I have heard, right up there with Harry being a horcrux. Come on, think about what you are saying. What, did Dumbledore just sit there and say "ok, you can kill me... but only after Harry knows all the facts"? As if Snape could have done anything to Dumbledore under normal circumstances. And if Snape had Dumbledore at his mercy to make him agree to such a deal, why wouldn't Snape have finished him off then? Come on.

Has anyone considered the possibility that maybe it wasn't dumbledore that snape killed, i mean this is the world of magic, right?Surely dumbledore could've cooked up some spell to clone himself or something? and i'm still really curious about that hand, there's just something missing from that story. Or maybe dumbledore will come back as a ghost or something, harry still needs help and there's no way that dumbledore would leave him alone unless he was confident enough that harry would receive the infromation he needed to help him succeed. It's just a thought but i think the last book is gonna be waaaaayyyyyy complicated, there's sooooo much that needs explaining
