That work??  Ok, so anyway, I happen to be one of the people that thinks that Snape is a good guy, and we are going to find out that DD asked him to kill him (or something like that) in book 7 - mainly because I was devastated by DD's death and Snape's actions, so this belief allows me to console myself lol.  I'm rereading HBP and I came across this line:

" "You...you can't stop, professor," said Harry.  "You've got to keep drinking remember?  You told me you had to keep drinking.  Here..."

   HATING HIMSELF, REPULSED BY WHAT HE WAS DOING, Harry forced the goblet back toward Dumbledore's mouth..."  (HBP US edition pg 571) **emphasis mine**

Then, of course, the now famous "Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, AND THERE WAS REVULSION AND HATRED etched in the harsh lines of his face."  (HBP US edition pg 595)  **emphasis mine**

As I read the first part, that line just jumped out at me - it practically parallels the following one about Snape.  I'm wondering if I am the only one that not only noticed this but made the same connection.  That it's yet another example of someone that loved DD dearly, following his orders, knowing he was causing immense pain - if not even death - and showing repulsion and hatred while doing it.  

Am I just trying to hard to make the connection??  Does anyone else agree that this is too similar to just be a coincidence?  I know we have been talking a lot about Snape (especially that one line) but I would love to hear some other thoughts on this.
