after reading the whole thread...

I know there has to be a reason why Dumbledore trusted Snape.
I also think Harry himself is one of the Horcruxes.

I never thought of it that way with Snape. But that does make sense.
Also never thought that Harry might be one of the Horcruxes. Maybe that was an unintentional mishap by Voldemort. His soul transferred to Harry by accident when he tried to kill him (after he had in fact killed his parents).

There's still something very important about Harry's eyes that still has yet to be explained, she usually doesn't reinforce something for no reason and it has been mentioned in every book.

I do remember in CoS that DD mentioned something about Harry being able to use the Gryffindor sword because he is a true Gryffindor. The only issue then becomes, how could he destroy himself to in turn kill Voldemort?
Good point about the eye thing. For the last three books we have been “hearing” from everyone that he “has his mother’s eyes”. There has got to be a reason for that.
I now need to go back and re-read OotP so I can find the part about the locket. Maybe that is why DD did make the huge point at the beginning of the book making sure Harry did in fact “own” the Black pocessions (spelling issues here). If in fact the locket is still in the house, Harry now owns it.

Also, since Draco was so hesitant about killing Dumbledore, I'm hoping he'll convert to the good guy side.

I think when it comes to Draco that he will either have turned completely to the “dark side” (LOL) because of witnessing the murder, but knowing JK and her twists, it might just be that Draco decides he can’t be evil because of what he witnessed. We all read, that he did not want to kill him, he was just terrified for his own life and his parents lives. He also didn’t believe that DD or OotP could protect him. Maybe he’ll end of siding with Harry because Snape did tell the other Death Eaters to back off of Harry because he was for Voldemort. Harry might end up being a bit moresafe to be with than else-ware.
As for the whole Snape killing DD. When I read it (late last night) I could tell that he was stalling, but I wasn’t sure why. He was definitely reaching Malfoy’s ‘good’ conciousness by telling him that he doesn’t have to do it. That DD can protect him and his parents, etc…
As for the theory about Snape, now that I think back it does make sense. It was extremely OOC for DD to beg for his life when he has always said that death is a part of life. Although as someone mentioned (not sure who know) by Snape killing him, no matter what the reason behind it, the entire wizarding community is going to want his head, so to speak. Harry wants revenge, it’s that simple. He’s not going to understand, nor probably want to listen to anything Snape has to say about killing DD.
I’m drawing a blank here but who is Regulas Black?
