Hmmm, Dumbledore gives Snape a good twinkling.  Sounds kinky. 

My theory on this is that *sometimes* Dumbeldore gets a strong 
feeling that someone is telling the truth, and thus trusts the 
person, but other times just isn't sure.  I don't think he's 
omniscient.

Wait a minute, Cindy!  Didn't you propose that Snapes owes 
*Dumbledore* a life debt?  Because Dumbledore could have killed him, 
but spared him instead?  I thought that was Mercy, or Mercy II.

I think at this point, modular Snapetheories may not only be 
possible, they may be *necessary*.  It's too complicated to keep 
track of things otherwise.  It's a lot easier to debate one *part* of 
a Snapetheory (like, an Ambush, or Snape loving Lily, or Snape 
joining the DEs due to the Prank) than it is try to keep all these 
grand theories straight and debate entire theories at once. 

Can I have some mash with my bangers?
