Do you think Snape is good or bad? I can't decide.
As much as I dislike him, I think I'd rather have him turn out good - it would make Dumbledore's death not as bad.
These are some theories I've heard:
- Snape doesn't really kill DD, he says avada kedavra but is thinking a different spell that stuns him or something instead. snape is really good at the silent spells, and avada kedavra only works (according to snape) if you really really want to kill that person.
- DD and Snape make eye contact - DD could be telling Snape to kill him silently (they are both .. er.. that L word - legilimus? I can't remember how to spell any of these HP words lol). DD knows he's going to die anyway (from the potion) and if Snape "kills" him, the death-eaters will be convinced that Snape is still on their side (which will keep him as a spy for the order)
technically those 2 can combine into one
- DD died but isn't really gone, bc of that thing in book 2 about him never really leaving hogwarts as long as someone there believes in him/agrees with him/something like that.
- Snape didn't want to kill DD but had to because of the Unbreakable Vow
seriously though, I can't really see DD begging Snape not to kill him. He never seemed scared of death (always said it was just the next step). Hmmm
