Snape Teaching Til The End (spoiler Warning)

Wow. that really does make sence (sp?).

It seems to me everyone is making good points but I am wondering if anyone noticed that right before Snape arrived DD was telling Malfoy that he could make it appear he had died. Then Snape arrives and "kills" him. As for the original question about Snape not attacking back I trully don't believe he is bad. I believe he was trying to help Harry's duelling skills. I believe he was also helping Malfoy to escape the death-eaters.

so many questions...

p. 302 Malfoy and Snape are having an argument. Snape is almost begging Malfoy to tell him his plans... He is a spy for Dumbledore!

p.380 Hagrid has overheard Dubledore and Snape arguing. "Well I jus' heard Snape Sayin'Dumbledore took too much for granted an'maybe Snape didn't want to do it anymore(...)it soudend like Snape was feeling a bit overworked(..)Dumbledore told him flat out he'd agreed to do it and that wass all there was to it(..)"he was quite frim with him.

I think this is why Snape had hatred on his face. He had to do something he didn't want to do.

Here's another theory. Snape isn't all that bad, but he has to look an act a very bad person, so he can convince lord voldemort of his bad intensions. I think he hates the fact that James and Sirius were popular all along and he has to pretend he is a dark wizard. So he still isn't very popular. Now he has to fulfill this task he knows he will never be loved by the people he wants to belong to. Dumbledore was the only one who knew he was a good person and now he had to kill him.
I think he's mad with Dumbledore for always having to do the dirty work... What do you think about that?

p.380 also said that Snape had to do some investigations in Slytherin House. I think that was because Dumbledore wanted to know how and when Malfoy was going to do this... But Malfoy never wanted to tell Snape. Because he didn't trust him...

And finally; remember Dumbledore said: "there are worst things than dying.." I think he got himself killed to save Malfoy and Snape and that he was pleading Snape to do it quickly, because if one of the other death eaters would do it, Snape and Malfoy would have been killed..

some body sed snape wouldnt have a look of hatrid on his face while killing DD if it was on orders
ok i think that if you look back to when harry was pouring the potion into DD mouth he had hatrid for himself but it doest say if he had an expression of hate, now i was thinking he may have had the look of hatrid because he hated himself for doing that. what do youi think?

I say B I N G O,you're close to what I beleive.But none of us can really be sure of anything till book seven comes out.Gonna be a while,grab a Chocolate Frog. :P

I think snape was a double agent and he didnot attack harry because his unbreakable vow was to protect malfoy and harry was not harming Draco . Dunno

i hope that snape is good, too, but, for heaven's sakes, HE KILLED DUMBLEDORE! ok, there might be some good in him for all we know. but i'm just really really mad at him for killing dumbledore. dumbledore had to die anyway because only harry can stop voldemort, and harry now knows pretty much all he needs to know. dumbledore told him everything, so technically harry's the one who knows the most about voldemort in the entire wizarding world! i got off topic, didn't i? anyway, i sincerely hope snape's good deep down, but i haven't forgiven him yet for killing dumbledore. i won't forgive him until i see proof that he had to, or that he didn't mean to, or something like that. i'm sad!

i do NOT think that snape would kill dumbledore to help harry with his dueling skills! no way! that's totally inhumane! it is a good theory, and there's nothing wrong with it, i just think it's not possible. we're all entitled to our opinions, right? that's mine, right there!
