Another Harry Potter Question..... Spoilers are included!!!!!?

Question

Do you think that Professor Snape really is still on Voldemort's side or did he just kill Professor Dumbledore to give Harry more of a push to be able to kill Voldemort?????

Answer 1

I think that he was loyal to Dumbledore til the end. When Dumbledore said "please" I think it was a request to follow through on previously given orders to kill him if need be. The alternative would be for Snape's cover to be blown. Chances are, Harry will need Snape's assistance in the final book to kill Voldemort. While there is no doubt that Harry hates Snape, I'm not yet willing to give up that Dumbledore's trust was well placed.

Answer 2

No, I actually think that Snape is a triple agent. Dumbledore knew that Draco was not going to be able to kill him, and I believe that Dumbledore told Snape to do what he had to do to, to protect Draco. Dumbledore knew he was going to die. So basically I believe that Dumbledore must have had some reason for placing trust in Snape, and I believe that he knew beforehand what was going to happen to him.

I believe that Draco and Snape will be formidable allies to Harry in the upcoming war.. well at least Snape, I don't know what JKR is planning to do with Draco in the final book (but I hope she doesn't kill him, because she said that 2 major characters would die, and Dumbledore's gone already, so we know it's not him, one of them have got to be Voldemort, but the BIG question is WHO is the other one?)

Answer 3

I think Snape works for himself. He's not on Voldemort's side, because he had no qualms about being a double agent. I also think he loathed Dumbledore in his own way, not understanding how someone can be so selfless. I believe he killed Dumbledore to protect Draco and follow the promise he made to Narcissa.

Answer 4

I wish that Snape is actually good and he just put a spell on Dumbledore to fool The Deatheaters.

He has always hated Harry, but had loyalty to Dumbledore.

Answer 5

Snape is an EVIL bastard! He killed Dumbledore for Voldemort. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood-Cold-Blooded Killer Prince.

Answer 6

I have thought and discussed this at length with friends since the book came out. Here are my thoughts on the subject:

Although it is still possible that Snape is "just evil", I find that a bit too easy. I mean, from the first book of the series, Snape was always the character no one liked, he was mean, we suspected him of everything, I think it would be a bit of a let down, if it turned out that he was in fact all we thought he was. Too easy. Not complex enough, not with the quality of characters Rowling has given us so far, rounding out her characters, telling us about their past.

There is much we don't know yet about Snape that makes me think he is not working for Voldemort. Why did Dumbledore trust him so fully? Harry's theory is too simple, I don't think Snape not knowing what Voldemort would do with the prophecy would be enough for Dumbledore to fully trust him. So what is it? There is something we don't know, and until we find out what that was, I'm keeping my thoughts open for a "good" Snape.

Also, throughout the book, I don't think Snape knew what Malfoy was up to, not until Dumbledore himself told him. Just before Christmas, Harry overhears Snape and Malfoy, and Snape is trying to convince Malfoy to tell him what he's up to, he says he wants to help, but Malfoy refuses. It seems illogical to me that he would tell him later on. Malfoy doesn't want Snape to share in the "glory", so I think he kept him in the dark. It is therefore my opinion that Dumbledore, by some yet unknown means, did find out what Malfoy was planning to do, and he, in the argument overheard by Hagrid, told Snape, and asked him to "fulfill" Malfoy's plan.

Last detail I noticed. When Snape enters the tower at the end, Dumbledore pleads "Severus, please..." This seems out of character for Dumbledore, to face an enemy and plead. We saw how he reacted to the other Death Eater's entrances, with bravery and scorn at them. Why would he plead to Snape? And the "revulsion and hatred" Harry sees on Snape's face as he is about to kill him, maybe it is not hatred towards Dumbledore, but about what he has to do, revulsion at having to kill him?

I cannot wait for book 7, so we can find out for sure, though I will be disappointed if it turns out Snape was really just the bad guy.

Answer 7

Here's my theory.

Snape is really good and he told Dumbledore about making the unbreakable vow with Draco's mother. So then Dumbledore made him make another with him saying that he wouldn't let Draco kill him and he would do it himself. Pretty much the same as what he did with Draco's mother. He's still going back and is going to help destroy Volmemort somehow. I also think that Dumbledore imprinted his soul somewhere on the school so he will come back as a ghost. It may or may not have said somewhere in the last book that he can't do that, but I don't remember, it's just a thought.

Answer 8

I think that Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore but was forced to by Dumbledore. I think he will end up helping Harry in the end and finally be able to show his good side. I think it would be way cool if he ended up killing Bellatrix Lestrange!!

Answer 9

regrettably, this time the spoiler that maximum human beings observed grew to become into actual. i did no longer examine it, I abstained from Harry Potter appropriate boards for an prolonged time, yet from what I heard it grew to become into the epilogue that have been given leaked and it grew to become right into a actual spoiler. If I gave you a secret novel to examine, then advised you who committed the crime, i might think of you may a minimum of be somewhat upset. lots of the Harry Potter community are captivated with those books. Plus, that's all regarding the anticipation. there have been essays, editorials, and books written approximately what's going to ensue; and we could desire to work out if we are able to wager on a similar time as we are nevertheless analyzing the final e book. I understand the place you're coming from with the full "in case you do no longer want to be spoiled, stay off the internet" element. I agree one hundred%, in case you're taking that threat, you're inquiring for it. yet like I mentioned, there has been lots hypothesis for thus long, some human beings have been with the series from the commencing up; you will possibly no longer understand, in spite of if that's something approximately sorting out at your own %., and not have some fool screaming out the effect earlier you examine it. that's my 2 for 2.

Answer 10

I don't see how killing Dumbledore would help Harry out. If anything, it hinders him. Snape's a Death Eater, plain and simple. Remember, it was Snape who betrayed Harry's parents, and he didn't neccessarily have to do that.
