Kemper now:
I wish the movies were accurate to the books. As they aren't, I think 
there will be a spliced, mutated version to give the audience the 
relevant info.  Here's how I see it happening:
Snape is given mortal wound either on/off screen.
Harry rolls up on him as he lays dieing.
Snape Legilimens Harry who then sees the relevent memories of Snape 

Yes, I realize that is not how the spell works but since when are the 
movies canon?  Something like the above would happen to save time in 
the movie while also moving the plot along relatively smoothly.  
Besides, Movie!Snape is more smarmy and much less vile to Movie!Harry 
for there to be a need for much forgiveness.  Sure, Movie!DD will die 
by Movie!Snape's wand, but a quick little memory of,
DD: I only have a year to live, it's okay to kill me if it has to 
happen.
Snape: I don't really want to.
DD:  I'm not asking, I'm telling

and, abrakadabra, movie magic transfiguration.

The power of the scene will be lost.  But that's par for the course.

Kemper, who looks forward to the HP movie remake in 2022 (25th 
anniversary of SS)
