Thanks for the response Rachael, just one comment.  "Snape has given 
Dumbledore his story and Dumbledore believes it."  could also be 
taken in a different light: just becuase DD believes it doesn't make 
it true.  DD beleived keeping Harry in the dark was the right thing 
also, he later discovered it had deadly consequences.  He's 
brilliant, but he isn't always right.
