Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

[Bala]

Snape doesn't know the True Prophecy,right?So, it would be a hard thing to kill someone who you think is your only chance of getting rid of Voldie.But then again,maybe DD has told him,and Snape understands that even if DD dies,it won't be that big a deal,as it would be if the Prophecy weren't true.Maybe DD trusts Snape because he's told him the true Prophecy,and he knows that he hasn't told Voldie.

'I well remember my first interview with Dumbledore,' went

on Professor Trelawney, in throaty tones. 'He was deeply

impressed, of course, deeply impressed ... I was staying at the

Hog's Head, which I do not advise, incidentally -bed

bugs, dear

boy -but

funds were low. Dumbledore did me the courtesy of

calling upon me in my room at the inn. He questioned me ... I

must confess that, at first, I thought he seemed ill-disposed

towards Divination ... and I remember I was starting to feel a

little odd, I had not eaten much that day ... but then ...'

And now Harry was paying attention properly for the first time, for he knew what had happened then: Professor Trelawney had made the prophecy that had altered the course of his whole life, the prophecy about him and Voldemort.



'... but then we were rudely interrupted by Severus Snape!'



'What?'



'Yes, there was a commotion outside the door and it flew

open, and there was that rather uncouth barman standing

with Snape, who was waffling about having come the wrong

way up the stairs, although I'm afraid that I myself rather

thought he had been apprehended eavesdropping on my

interview with Dumbledore -you

see, he himself was seeking

a job at the time, and no doubt hoped to pick up tips! Well,

after that, you know, Dumbledore seemed much more disposed

to give me a job, and I could not help thinking, Harry,

that it was because he appreciated the stark contrast between

my own unassuming manners and quiet talent, compared to

the pushing, thrusting young man who was prepared to listen

at keyholes -Harry,

dear?'






Perhaps his face was white, to make her look so concerned

and frightened. Harry was standing stock-still as waves of

shock crashed over him, wave after wave, obliterating everything

except the information that had been kept from him for

so long ...



It was Snape who had overheard the prophecy. It was

Snape who had carried the news of the prophecy to Voldemort.

Snape and Peter Pettigrew together had sent Voldemort hunting

after Lily and James and their son ...

There...Snape does know about the Prophecy. But other points are quite valid. Some reps are on your way.

 

[gold639]

Snape only heard part of the prophecy,not the whole thing.

But yeah,Snape does know about it.

 

[sachin]

Exactly-He didn't hear the whole thing,remember how DD said that Snape was very remorseful when he learnt about what his information had done.If he knew the whole thing,he would have surely known that Harry's parents would be killed.And i'm sure(With all that knowledge) he would have killed harry, when he was running, with Draco in tow, away from Hogwarts at the end of the book.It would be the end,knnwone would be able to beat him,know one.

 

[Jarryd]

Finished it today. WOW!!! Who'd've predicted Dumbledore dying???!!!

 

[icyman]

i got a pretty good theory for snape being loyal to Dumbeldore.
Many still believe that DD died because of the Avada Kedavra..which is not so.

If you read the books 2-3 times (part where DD dies) you'll understand...

Snape hits Dumbeldore straight in the chest .
A jet of green light hits DD and due to the FORCE he gets thrown off the astronomy tower.
Meanwhile
"Harry's scream of horror never left him"
He screams when the jet hits DD.If that was so then snape and greyback,amycus,alecto and draco should have heard him as there was not much sound.Also JKr mentions that harry stands motionless when the jet hits DD.

Snape may not have intended to kill DD, Dd must have died due to fall from the astronomy tower.Cause harry is not freed from the curse immediately.

Remember the chapter in GOF...'The Unforgivable curses'
where mad eye moody says that even if all of you point the wand s at me and say 'Avada kedavra',,....i would just get a nosebleed.Avada Kedavra requires some pretty powewrful dark magic behind it.
Maybe snape did not want to kill dumbeldore but this is what exactly happened.


Also Harry wipes the blood from Dumbeldore's mouth in the chapter..'Flight of the Prince'....where did the blood come from then...

This indicates that Dumbeldore died because he fell off the Astronomy tower and not because of Snape's Avada Kedavra.

 

[gold639]

Again,very good theory mate :

At first when i read this wonderful post,i thought you just hadn't read it properly,but now i see that you have thought about it,and that is an amazing theory!But the reason,Harry didn't make any sounds,which JK makes clear,is because he is so shocked,so petrified.But all the same it is a brilliant theory.Hey Iceman,have you read what JK says about Snape dying?She sounded as if she thought snape had been playing DD,all along.Doesn't sound good for old Snapy.

 

[icyman]

About harry not shouting...i suggest you read the part once again..
Harry's scream never left him.

yeah .i did not read about old snappy.


another thing i came across was that

snape was actually teaching harry..rather telling him to learn occlumency andclose his mind.
"Blocked again and again until you learn to keep yourmind shut"

 

[sachin]

And what is the significance of that statement?And when Harry calls him a coward,wgy does he go so psycho?

 

[Jarryd]

I reckon he goes psycho when Harry calls him a coward because to be doing what he's doing (betraying Voldemort right under his nose) requires huge bravery.

Thats my theory.

 

[gold639]

Well,if Snape and Dumbledore did plan this out,then atleast ONE member of the Order should be knowing,right?

Otherwise all the Order will be against Snape.And they were all shocked when they found out Snape had done it.

 

[icyman]

right...
maybe R.A.B ?
Sirius ?
Dumbeldore's brother...Aberforth... he was'nt there at the funeral,was he?

 

[Bala]

There is another character who comes to the fore in HBP after being just a name during sorting in the Philosopher's stone. Zabini Blaise. Why suddenly throw a character who had been in the dark for 5 books thrown upfront. Alos his mother managed to have half a dozen husbands all of them dying mysteriously.

Could R.A.B really be Blaise Sr.?

 

[sachin]

But thats his first name!I think that it is perfectly reasonable that if they did plan it out(Snape-DD),they wouldn't want anyone to know,it must be fullproof.And maybe it was some sortof test for harry.I'm not really sure of anything,JK spins a good plot.

 

[icyman]

Blaise Sr might be a death eater for all you know
with this son in slytherin..
he might have died mysteriously...
lets wait and watch.
