Ahhh....I like this....

So, possible 'Snape is Doomed' scenario:

Snape goes back to Voldemort with an 'I hate them both' cover story. 
He gives Voldemore details of how to kill both Dumbledore and Harry. 
The Kill Dumbledore details are true; a noble self-sacrifice on 
Dumbledore's part to get Voldemort to believe that the Kill Harry 
details are not, in fact, a cunning trap.

Dumbledore dies. Harry believes Snape has betrayed him. Initial 
Climatic scene where Harry refuses to kill a (secretly heart-broken) 
Snape because he's Not That Sort of Boy.[1]

Final Climatic Scene where Voldemort makes a big ceremonial thing out 
of killing Harry [2], planning to behead him with the Gryffindor 
Sword. He chooses Snape, who has delivered Harry to him, for the 
privilege of the final blow [3]. Snape renounces Voldemore in superb 
scenery chewing speech, uses sword to break Harry's chains and ends 
by cutting off the arm that has his Death Eater mark [4].

Voldemort kills Snape in huge green blast of AK [5], followed by 
Harry grabbing the sword from Snape's lifeless fingers for the Final 
Big Fight....[6]


Yes! Yes! Yes!
 I love it! Snape's DOOMED! He's DOOMED, I tell you, DOOMED!

in a darkened room]



[1] Besides, having Harry spare his life is much the nastier option 
as far as Snape's concerned. ;-)

[2] He will. You know he will.

[3]Sooo much better to let someone else do it. Beheading people is 
messy.

[4] It's very symbolic.

[5]'Snape must  survive' fans can select a 'Harry saves the Day' (TM) 
option in which Harry works out how to control his AK defense 
mechanism, and thus manages a Last Second Rescue. This permits Snape 
to survive bloodied, slightly mutilated, but unbowed, and allows him 
the all-important Hospital ( Plot Explanation) Chapter [7] where he 
explains all those plot points that have been bugging readers from 
Books 1 to 7.

[6] The entire scene can be held in a supposedly dormant volcano. If 
you really insist.

[7] And Snape should *demand* that Hospital Plot Explanation Scene. 
Given a choice between A Nice Bowl of Fruit, Letting the Patient 
Rest, and Explaining Complex Plot Twists Over Several Pages To Semi-
Comatose Invalids, the REAL witch or wizard will go for the Plot 
Explanation option every time. 
No wonder Dumbledore was so stern with Professor McGonagall in GoF.:-)
