I think if they would have known they would have tried to stop it from happening, potentially, so maybe he made Snape vow to not tell anyone else. And plus he might have left something behind for Harry to discover that proves Snape's innocence. I don't think DD would have just left Snape to be fed to the wolves either.

And here's some of my Alan Rickman as Snape avvies:

Yeah, that sounds about right - by the end of the next bok everyone should love Sev again...well - probably not, but you know what I mean!

Oh wow - I love them! My faves probably the last one - they're really cool

Squuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *takes deep breath*eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Lovelylovely. I should chain you to the Neville Longbottom fanclub. We need avvy makers.

I'm not sure but probably the same reason why he hasn't told any of the Order about the Horcruxes.

He was already sacrificing those things even before DD died.

I don't think he was using Snape. But at the same time, he had to have considered the moves they'd be forced into making when eventually Snape had to take sides in a battle.

Did you guys make those graphics? *wants to add them to the first post*

Yeah, that's a good point. Dumbledore wouldn't want to have put Snape at risk, and there really was no other option for Sev than to stay a death eater - nobody betrays Voldemort and lives to tell the tale.... well - not with him knowing anyway. hmm...I wonder whether Sev knows where any of the horcruxes are...

Exactly what I'm thinking.

I'll try and make some icons for the fan club later this week...

Don't you think the collection of memories for the pensieve in the headmaster's office will clarify any background information?

Definitely. I think Harry will go back to Hogwarts in book7 if only to try and talk to the portrait of DD. Which will stay annoyingly quiet. We all know ho curious Harry is so perhaps he'll think to have a nosy in the pensieve. If nothing else, for more help with the Horcruxes. And then maybe he'll stumble on something that makes him think [for once].

I didn't think of that...when the trio realise that they'll return to Hogwarts I guess....

Yeah that seems an accurate guess of what's going to happen...knowing Harry... of course Harry knows a little about Snape from what he saw during the Occulumency lessons... I'm not sure whether that'll ever come up again, but it's worth mentioning...

Evy - congrats on the Huffie prefect job!

Maybe, I think the trio needs to return to hogwarts especially they need to find the remaining horcruxes. They need some information on how to find them or someone who manage to know more about horcruxes.And the pensieve probably is the one of key to find the remaining horcruxex except in dumbledore's portrait. The Dumbledore's pensieve may be have some thought of dumbledore in the past the can make some hint on how to find it.

Can we keep it on Snape. Thanks guys =)

Sev should have a large part in the seventh - Jo can't leave us wondering about him and there is so much left to be explained - he had such an important part in the half blood prince that he is going to play an important role in ahrry potter and the "seventh book"

Any particular ideas? One of my theories is that Snape will die fighting Voldemort, and Harry will finally realize that Dumbledore was right to trust Snape, and maybe even forgive him.

Another theory about the end of book 7 is that Harry will be the one to die... but I haven't worked out what part Snape will play yet. Yet.

Still can't bealive that Adelle is Co-President.. LMAO...

Well it is hard to know what side Sev is on.. On one side we know that Dumbledore is Ubber-Smart and wise... , but then again.. No ones perfect.. he said himself that he could make mistakes...

Any side you’re on? I’m 100 percent sure Snape is Dumbledore’s man… I just don’t see how it’s possible for Dumbledore to have made the mistake for 16 years. And obviously, there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s on the Order’s side. *defends Snape to the last*

I dont think he wanted anyone to know, and besides we dont know he didn't tell the order. Maybe they just didn't want Harry to know so Voldemort couldn't read his mind and realize that Dumbledore was still alive.

I made the first three.
Here's another one I made, nothing big though:


And I opened my own graphic making shop, if you want to see a little more of my work. And if you still haven't found anyone I'd be more than happy to make some.

That would make sense actually - if Harry knw then Voldie could easily find out - then Snape would bein even more serious trouble...hmm...

Hopefully all questions will be answered when book 7 comes out...


Meanwhile take a look at this site: Dumbledore is not dead

When I'd finished trhe book, I was desperate to find an alternative - some way Snape hadn't killed him - then I was shown that site. I believed it - I mean,when you want something to be true, you'll go to any lengths to make it true even if there really was no chance of it being reality. I may be wrong, but when I calmed down, I faced the reality - Dumbledore's dead. Snbape killed him. There's no bringing him back, and we're going to have to accept that. So I don't reckon that site is true - I reckon it's a rebound flex - when you're so desperate for it to be true, that you bring together every bit of evidence you can. Sorry - I may be wrong, and that site really has so much evidence that it is truly believable - but that's my view on it.
*wonders if that paragraph made sense*

I felt exactly like that when I first read the murder scene. I think that There must be some alternative. Snape in my opinion of "good" or "bad" changes daily! I've even thought that he can't really be on Vodemorts side again as I can't get my head around it. There has got to be something to explain the happenings of that event!

I have hurd this theory from other people and it's that Snape has always been loyal to Dumbledore and at making the Vow with Narcissa there was no way back. He could not get out of the situation. It would show too strongly that he was worried. Then after this happened Snape told Dumbledore and said if it comes down to it you must do it. That may be why Dumbledore started giving Harry those important lessons. He knew his time was coming. His game was up.

What does everyone else think?
