Alla:

Yes, I also curious since when "DD dying on the tower" became a fact?

What I saw on the Tower was a wounded leader of the Order, who may be 
hurt, but 
who neverless was making contingency plans for Draco and pretty much 
was including himself as the one  who will carry out those plans.

Alla:

Yes, me too. You know, I was ( just as many others, I am sure) 
predicting that Snape would seem to betray the Order at the end, but 
I never went further than thinking that it would be imaginary 
betrayal. For example - Harry would be TOLD  that Snape did something 
bad, but would not have actually witnessed it, or something like that.

At the same time, I am absolutely delighted that JKR upped the scales 
of the darkness within Snape, so to speak. To me it confirmed another 
one of my suspicions that Snape had never truly left his DE mentality 
behind and what he did to Harry and Neville gave us glimpses of his 
true nature.

Again, I would not say that I ever expected anything like that to 
happen, but I do find it to be a brilliant twist.


Just my opinion,
