A New Idea For Snape

All good ideas. All along though, Snape has been good and evil, at different times in his life. So, the real question is, "Can we trust him to help the Order and Harry in Year 7?" Here's what we know:

1) Unbreakable vow - Snape promised Narcissa three things: 1) watch over Draco as he fullfilled Voldermort's wishes, 2) protect him from harm, and 3) if Draco failed, which he did, Snape would do what Voldermort told Draco to do. Even if Snape wanted to be "good", he now was forced to follow-through and commit an "evil" act once again.

2) When Draco Malfoy failed to kill Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower, Snape broke through the fight and came to Draco's aid, saved Draco from being killed by Voldermort because he failed, and then Snape killed Dumbledore himself with the unforgivable Avada Kedavra curse.

3) Snape protected Harry from being killed by Death Eaters. Snape said, "Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord - we are to leave him!"

4) Snape was teaching Harry while fighting him. "No unforgivable curses from you Potter!" and, "Blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, Potter!"

Good point, Winky. Except…

Only “if it should prove necessary.” If Draco fails, Voldemort will kill him for the failure. Nothing Snape can do will change the fact that Draco failed.

Narcissa, who has been in the habit of wiping Draco's butt for the past seventeen years, could not imagine that those days are gone. SHE BELIEVED that Snape could make it all better. Snape is smarter than that.

Draco hadn't finished in his attempt to kill Dumbledore..he was still standing in front of him wand in hand. Snape pushed Draco aside and did his thing making everyone assume Draco had failed. Snape did not actually kill Dumbledore but he would have had to if he had actually waited for Draco to fail.

And still, no one gets it. Killing Dumbledore was irrelevant to Narcissa's cause and the Vow.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought of that or heard it before.
But no, I would still say that Draco failed. It was obvious to everyone there, including Draco.

page 591, Dumbledore --"My dear boy, let us have no more pretense about that. If you were going to kill me, you would have done it when you first disarmed me, and you would not have stopped for this peasant chat about ways and means."

Malfoy -- "But I got this far, didn't I? They thought I'd die in the attempt, but I'm here... You're at my mercy..."
"No, Draco," said Dumbledore quietly. "It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now."
Draco did not speak. His mouth was open, his wand hand still trembling. Harry thought he saw it drop by a fraction --

Why be so 'bold' lol. I can read normal print.

I hold on to that little quote of yours because thats the bit that only matters..the ones before were irrelevent. This quote still proves MY point. A trembling wand and a fraction dropped does not go to prove that he still had no chance to kill Dumbledore. He was standing there with his wand in his hand pointed at Dumbledore while Dumbledore was defenseless. Snape had to act when he did before Draco completely lost it. Otherwise he would actually have been bound to kill Dumbledore. Sorry. Think I repeated myself a bit.

Shrugging it off because you didn't understand it? Which part didn't you get?


Is the glass half empty or half full?
It doesn't matter, because he needed a full glass to do the job.

page 585, Malfoy --"I've got a job to do."
"Well, then, you must get on and do it, my dear boy," said Dumbledore softly.
There was silence...Draco Malfoy did nothing but stare at Albus Dumbledore, who, incredibly, smiled.
"Draco, you are not a killer."

Draco's resolve had been "feeble" and half-hearted all year. His will became weaker and weaker as the conversation went on.
He simply couldn't do it, even though his life depended on it.

"Killing is not nearly as easy as the innocent believe."

You're 'boldness' is still not worth it lol.

So much presumption. The reason why the portion I took out of your post is not in bold is because they are your thoughts and not from the book.

An old man's smile and his attempt at buying time does little to dissuade me from the FACT that Draco still stood over Dumbledore with his wand ready..albeit a bit confused. Why didn't Snape just whisper into his ear, 'Do it..make your father proud. I'm right behind you..and Dumbledore is helpless'..?

what do you mean your english isn't good, it sems fine to me, but them again, i'm from england, where are you from?
