zgirnius: 
I totally agree with your post, I also expect to see Snape die in 
Book 7. Though I am not so sure about early. I agree that if we see 
him running around doing heinous or heroic acts all over the place 
through much of the book, that would be problematic, but I can see 
him disappearing for a large part of the book only to reappear and 
die.

I don't consider any of your first three options likely either. Loved 
option 1, though, Lucius kills Snape after finding him *with* 
Cissy... I agree with you about 2 and 3 as well.

I'm not expecting 4, either, but this may be because we are in 
different Snape camps. I expect to see Snape acting in a way 
consistent with him having at least some loyalty to Dumbledore in 
Book 7. I think it is entirely likely that Order members will want to 
kill him, but the way I see things that would be a *waste*. Snape is 
going to die doing something useful for Harry or the mission.
