SSSusan:
For what it's worth, I vote for option 2.  As an aside, wouldn't it 
be great if Harry really DID stop resisting and start learning from 
Snape?  Don't get me wrong, I understand his resistance, but I'm 
still holding out for Maturing!Harry in books 6 & 7, who will begin 
to treat Snape differently even if Snape continues in his modus 
operandi.  

And since I've finally got an excuse to post on this thread, I'm 
going to second Steve's comments from #114287.  I took, from the 
beginning, Snape's "stopper death" comment to mean a means of 
delaying or postponing death.
