When I first read the message subject, I thought you might mean
it literally. The narrative voice in PS/SS does skip ahead, and
back. And then I thought, what if the narrative voice *is*
Dumbledore?
It goes outside Harry's POV to follow Hermione's attack on
Snape, and it tells us that "Snape would never know what
happened." Who'd know that, really, except Dumbledore? The
finality of it gives me pause, though. If my theory's right, then
Dumbledore will survive the series but Snapey(sob!) won't.
On a point that *is* related to your post...we've speculated that
McGonagall's The Stone Is Impossible To Steal comment is the
literal truth. Well, what if what everyone, Hagrid, Sirius, Hermione
and Voldemort himself, is telling the truth when they say No One
Can Harm Harry At Hogwarts While Dumbledore Is There?
From a wizard's point of view broken bones are a minor
inconvenience...in which case Harry's only ever been hurt by
accident, falling off his broom or being de-boned unintentionally.
What do you all think?
