Isn't it funny? To me the implication that Dumbledore WOULD ask 
anybody to kill him is puzzling :-)

Alla:

Sure, IF  this hypothesis will turn out to be correct. But since to
me 
we don't know   neither that

a. Dumbledore indeed asked Snape to kill him:

b. that potion was a deadly poison . ( I am of the opinion that 
Dumbledore fully expected to get an antidote)

Then I don't  necessarily think that Dumbledore was facing such
choice 
in the first place.


I am indeed puzzled as to why many posters are so sure that Ambus was 
dying. If he indeed was dying wouldn't  it be more logical for him to 
NOT come to Hogwarts and instead go and die somewhere while telling 
Harry - you promise to obey, my time had come for next great 
adventure, leave me , my boy, or something like that.

If Albus indeed has no other choice  and he was dying, I would think 
it is more logical way for him to protect Draco ( sort of performing 
suicide)

Nope, I think that he needed Snape to heal him.

Just me of course,

Alla.
