Renee (briefly, before leaving for a Tolkien! conference):

I never thought to find myself on your side, Pippin - concerning 
Snape, that is :) - but on rereading PS/SS I came across an 
interesting remark made by Dumbledore when Harry returns to gaze 
into the Mirror of Erised. 

DD tells Harry that wearing an invisibility cloak can make one short-
sighted. When Harry witnesses Snape kill DD, he *is* wearing his  
invisibility cloak. Maybe he's missing something, like he missed 
DD's presence in the Mirror room, all those years ago.
