Carol responds:
I really hope that you're wrong, if only because we also need to
discover Snape's motivation, see Snape trapping the curse in DD's
hand, get an explanation for the doe Patronus, and, most important,
have Harry understand that he has to sacrifice himself. Anyway, I
doubt they'd sacrifice something as cinematically powerful as the
dying Snape releasing his memories. No doubt they'll condense the
Pensieve scenes as they did in GoF, but I think they'll have them. At
least, I think it would be a serious mistake if they didn't.

And it would be much easier to show memories coming out of Snape's
head and being collected in a conjured vial (CGI) than to show Snape
Legilimensing Harry, which wouldn't work, anyway, since it's *Snape's*
memories that need to be revealed and Harry is no Legilimens.

BTW, I'm also looking forward to a remake of the whole series ca.
2022, but I may be too old to enjoy them!

Carol, who thinks that Steve Kloves has always been a DDM!Snape
believer and will make sure that Snape is redeemed onscreen
