Similar to the answer to why Snape is not going to return to V you 
mean? If Harry points something out it won't happen? Only this time 
it was pointed out *to* Harry not *by* him, could there be a 
difference? I think this is highly likely to be one of those things 
everyone disagrees on and we will only find out by reading the books, 
but I dread to think how long we'll have to wait for an answer! IMHO, 
Dumbledore will not last the series but I don't know that Snape will 
succeed him, especially not if the governors have anything to say 
about it. I doubt they'd want a Slytherin headmaster. However in the 
grand scheme of things, who knows? Maybe Snape will have redeemed 
himself by then. Or died, the two may be linked (though I sincerely 
hope not!)

desperately hoping that if Snape has to die it will be later rather 
than sooner.
