Oh, yes, new spin. We like new spins (and when I say 'we', I mean 
the royal 'we'). 

"Pettigrew's role in the recorporation was the "willing" donation of 
his hand. More specifically, his RIGHT hand. The one with the 
missing finger. Ron told Harry that "You know what Pettigrew's 
mother got back after Black had finished with him? Dad told me---The 
Order of Merlin, First class, and Pettigrew's finger in a box." 

The significance of this should be apparent. Dumbledore now has 
access to the important ingredients specific to Voldemort's 
recorporation potion. Perhaps retrieving the finger, and some "bone 
of the father", is what Snape was tasked to do. After all, he IS the 
potions master! (He might also enjoy getting some of Harry's blood, 
too!)"

Okay, first things first: why would you keep a finger? That's 
just...morbid. However, the theory as a whole is a new spin, and 
it's so much better than the "Snape went back to V-Mort to spy for 
DD" theory. However, would retrieving a dead, decaying finger and 
the "bone" of V-Mort's father cause Snape to look paler than usual 
(is that even possible) and his eyes to glitter strangely? Snape 
doesn't seem to be that squeamish. Of course, it could be the 
thought of getting caught by V-Mort that scares him.

If you want to go along with the MAGIC DISHWASHER theory, of which I 
know little about, then DD had planned for V-Mort to use the potion, 
so he already planned to retrieve the finger. I think that's how it 
works. Oh, and he planned with Snape beforehand.

"What do y'all think?"

I like, like I said, it IS a new spin. However, other people know 
more about MAGIC DISHWAHER and PRESSURE COOKER than I do. So they 
might have more to say.

I do have a question, though. How would people describe the way 
Snape looks when he is sent on his mission? Does paler than usual 
and eyes glittering strangely mean scared, nervous, anxious? 

-Acire, who wants to put forth the little-known theory that Snape 
doesn't actually have eyeballs and that there are gemstones in his 
sockets. That's why they glitter and flash. And they're magical, 
too. <vbg>
