I suppose it's a hint that Snape became little Al's guardian angel, LOL.

Carol responds:
Since Dumbledore was preparing Harry to destroy Horcruxes and be killed (or "killed") by Voldemort while Snape was protecting Harry, it seems like an easy choice--especially since guardian angels don't normally speak to the people they're guarding! :-)

Carol, who prefers the idea of a timeless, ageless, painless, "griefless" afterlife where all grudges and resentments are forgotten
