Wait... this thread is allowed spoilers?
Ack, I'm not risking it.

I'm going to be all good and just say who trusts Snape, just like the threads question asks.

Dumbledore trusts snape and so do the other teachers.

he may have killed .............. (i'm not risking it either siriusblack) but i still honour him with my eternal undying trust...

I don't trust Snape matter what anyone says, I think he's a traitor through an through.

I don't know whether i trust snape or not. The dead of DD seamed to be planned. And snape had no choice, if he didn't kill DD, he would have been killed by the Death eaters.

I am torn, I thought he was just a wounded soul who would eventually come around but then I read an interview by JKR that said she based the character on a teacher she hated and she says to "keep an eye on him" or something like that, like he can't be trusted...I mean, if the person who created the character doesn't like or trust him, then he can't be good... BUT, he has saved HP when he didn't have to, when no one, not even Dumbledore could have blamed him for it. I just don't know what to think. I want to trust him....

There is the possibility that Snape was pretending to kill...
And that it is all part of a plan by the order.

There was a lot of talk about "non-verbal" spells in the hbp.
Now, maybe Snape used a non verbal spell on ... and just said the unforgivable curse to make it look like he was killing ...

Because when Cedric Diggory died from the avada kedavra curse, he just dropped dead.
There was no flying about in the air like a ragdoll and all that dramatic stuff.
It makes me think that it is another spell from snape's book that he made himself to look like a death spell.

And also, at the funeral at the end, we never saw the body, it was wrapped up.

And fawkes disappeared. maybe following dumbledore.
After all, the body that Harry found could have been fueled with polyjuice potion.

I totally see where Lestat is coming from with his theory, and there is a possibility that Dumbledore could have faked his own death with the help of Snape.

I'm also toying with the possibility that Dumbldore could actually be dead but may be resurrected from the dead.

Who trusts Snape?! I trust Snape!

Dumbledore was right to trust Snape, yet when he died, the only known reason that he trusted him most likely died with Dumbledore, for Snape is not likely to tell. Snape must have made the promise about Draco thinking that Draco was going to be forced to do something stupid, something that wouldn't matter. Something like passing Voldemort information so that Voldemort would know he could trust Draco. That way, Snape could supply Draco with faulty information concerning Dumbledore, and he could 'help' Draco by making him think that was true. Then he could complete the promise while not hurting the Order, or Dumbledore.

I think Dumbledore is dead, but my mom, an avid reader, thinks that he is still alive.
She thinks:

Like you said, he could've done another spell in his head or taken a potion. The potion he took in the cave couldn've prevented anyone but Voldemort himself from killing the drinker. Also, in the first book, Snape said there were potions that could 'even put a stopper in death.' JK wouldn't have put that in the movies if it wasn't important!!

I am on the ropes about if Dumbledore is actually dead or not. If he is then that means we cant trust snape and if he's alive then we know that snape should totally win an oscar because that is some seriously good acting!

well you cant come back from the dead
but, dosnt the sentence that was in the us edition of hbp only ring a bell

what if dd is saying this because he will be hidden, being made to look like hes dead

I wish Snap would be innocent. Dumbledore won't beg any one to live..Why he did so with Snap?? Every time, we thought wrong about Snap but he at the end became innocent. Dumbledore is not foolish or blind to not see if Snap is good or bad? Dumbledore is a great wizard and he knew more than any one knows.

I trust him... i really thingk there is more to it than we saw in HBP.... i htink Dumbledore said please to remind Severus of there pact!

mabye, he said please because he knew that he needed snape with the DE and if he didnt 'kill' him then the DE would kill snape

i dont trust Snape... i mean, even as much as i wish i could.. i just dont. after what he did in the HBP i just dont think i can. but then again, if he didnt kill DD, he would have died anyways, cuz he did the unbreakable vow with Malfoys mom, and he said that he would do the job that Malfoy was supposed to do if he couldnt. so if he would have broken that vow, then he would have died. so it was really a life or death situation, either he was gonna kill DD and live, or not and die. but im still thinking of other peoples theories that maybe DD isnt dead, and im really hoping right now that hes not. but.. i guess we'll just have to wait and find out...

I will always trust him!

i was talking to a freind and we thought of something that makes alot of sence what if dumbledor was dying and him and snaope amde this plan to...it may not make sence yet but will it in book 7?? see if you think about it it makes sence....=D

haha i just tought of something else what if the unbrakble vow dumbledor knew about and he wanted to save snape !!?? i mean i have a feeling that if dumbledor trusts him then he must be good.....maybe he will be killed in book 7 !! =O NOOO!!!! =(

haha i just tought of something else what if the unbrakble vow dumbledor knew about and he wanted to save snape !!?? i mean i have a feeling that if dumbledor trusts him then he must be good.....maybe he will be killed in book 7 !! =O NOOO!!!! =(

i mean if the other teachers trust him i mean there has to be somthing up with that and Snape caouldent be a death eater seeing as hes saved harry a few times....??

nice working..but i honestly can't trust snape.he hasn't proven himself trustworthy after killing dumbledore.lets wait 4 da 7th book.it might b helpful

I agree with siriusblack and allvcha. I trust Snape and think that if he were really a DE he would have killed Harry, or at least have let him be killed, a long time ago. DD trusted him and so will I.

I must admit that I "like" the theory of DD coming back to life but JK has said in many interviews that she will not bring anyone back to life. What I think is more probable is the use of DD's portrait in his office.

I honestly can't decide about Snape though. Given what Snape was obviously feeling when he said the killing curse.

But the "sappy hope" in me says that he could have been feeling that because of the situation that DD had put him in. He was angry because he had to kill DD, not because he hated DD. But I guess unfortunately that we will have to wait a long time to find out. Because, noone will know until the 7th book comes out.
