[HP4GU-FAQ] Assassin!Snape for HA

[Amanda Geist]

Harumph. Wasn't Amanda Binns' TBAY Explaining It All an outgrowth of
Assassin!Snape? All those posts that shifted the target from Karkaroff to
Dumbledore...don't leave them out!

Porphyria still around? Because I gave her a summary of Dark Mark posts, and
several things to add to the Snape FAQ; if you want, I will update our
beloved Potions Master. Could take a while, though; I have always just
helped with editing; I don't know how much message-block weeding is left to
do.

> If Karkaroff is the DE who will be killed, who will do Voldemort's
