Didn't Like The Way Dd Died.

I know I've already addressed this issue in another thread, and I apologize if it seems I'm beating a dead horse, but I didn't think that DD died in a way that fit with that character. I always thought DD would face death stoically, and without fear or regret. "After all to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. And besides, surely he must have realized the sun was quickly setting on him anyway. What do you guys think?

me nither i mean he was too big of a chracter. she had to(if she wanted to kill him) give him a decinet(SP) death

Do you think he'll come back? Do you also believe that Snape isn't a traitor? That he works for the order still?

i do think the DD is dead,although i think there would be a way of comuncating(sp) with him

Anything is possible if you deem it such. Lots of psychics in real life can communicate with the dead, so I don't see why it would be impossible to communicate with DD from beyond the grave. I rather expected DD to reveal whatever reason he had for Trusting Snape, at that moment. I thought maybe Snape underwent some sort of magic to force his loyalty DD.

Perhaps DD saved his life? Maybe that's why DD thought he could trust Snape? In fact I'll bet that's what the case was. DD saved his life a long time ago creating an impenitrable magical bond between the two forcing Snape to save DDs life at the first possible moment and that's why DD thought he could trust him. Rather similar to Pettigrew's debt to Harry and Snape's debt to Harry's father. The only reason that Snape killed DD was because he saved his life once when he rescued him from the horcrux ring so snape's debt was paid and he became free to make the unbreakable vow to kill DD. DD having enjoyed so many years of Snape's loyalty preffered to think that Snape had come over to the good guys in spirit and by deed. Maybe by deed, but not in heart or spirit.

Just my thoughts on why Snape betrayed DD. Yours?

Don't you see? Dumbledore did face death stoically. He never showed any signs for fear. Not with Draco or any of the other deatheaters. Has pleading was not for his own life, but for Snape to do the one thing he didn't want to. Kill Dumbledore. Snape was loyal to Dumbledore and Dumbledore was not afraid of dying. See the thread titled "both loyal to the end".

um........im not sure i just hate snape but in the back of my head i wana find a reason why it happened.......just like that-------DD is a very smart person but as he saw good in Molfloy he saw (goood & loyalty) in Snape

Maybe, you could be right papasmurf. But if Snape was loyal to DD in the first place then why did he even take the unbreakable vow?

i totaly agree with it not matching his character, i doesn't make sense that he was weak and begging in the end nor that snape could even kill himm. in the order of the phoenix book #5 that battle between voldermort and dumbledore is magic crazy , they both do really strong magic and in the end voldermort is forced to run for it, yet snape simply does that avada kerdarva curse and kills him!!!that's saying that snape is even more powerful then the dark lord and don't reply that was a strong curse because voldermort threw it at harry and dumbledore and dumbledore manage to block it with objects, and as far as him dying from being weak it still doesn't really add up with dumbledores character and how powerful he was. this is why dumbledore is probably coming back in some form or another in the seventh book. and in the battle in #5 doesn't fawkes show up and eat this snake curse that voldermort throws, and remains alive why could fawkes show up again and save dumbledore from snape, he was weak but he could stiil think enough to call fawkes to save him.

Yeah I wondered about fawkeses absence too. You'd think that at least all the noise and racket from the battle would have brought Fawkes out. And the magical barrier wouldn't have stopped him either because fawkes can appear and disappear at will within Hogwarts, he did it once right after Arthur Weasley was bit by the snake OotP.

But I thought that DD would have at least come back with a smart aleckremark before his murderer did him in. I thought, just for a moment, that we would get to hear DDs reason for trusting Snape so implicitly and willingly. I guess DD always needed to believe the best of people and after his extraordinarily long life his careless trust in people finally got the better of him and killed him.
