Jen: I can believe that with all the condensing and reshaping found in the movies.  As for the big events, I thought the movie ending of HBP made it obvious Snape was up to something when he killed DD, that there was ambiguity. Then my bro-in-law (movie viewer only) said something like, "So Snape was bad all along; he was just fooling Dumbledore."  I'm guessing Snape's use of an AK was the reason why he interpreted the scene that way.  IIRC the Unforgiveables aren't presented as ambiguous in the GOF movie.
