Maybe he could mean, how to brew antidotes and cures that will save 
people's lives (stop death). I don't think Snape meant 'stop' when 
he said 'stopper' (clue: IIRC the celluloid thing that must not be 
named says "put a stopper in death"), but I don't think that makes 
a difference. Is the death into which we are putting a stopper a 
literal bottle of death (poison), or is it the giant abstraction 
Death viewed as perhaps a tunnel that the person would have fallen 
into except that we blocked the tunnel entrance (with a stopper)?
