Depending on circumstances we've seen Avada Kedavra leave a  scar,
destroy a house and smash a very large statue into dust. In fact  I
don't think we've seen that particular curse work exactly the same  way
twice. This desperation to make Snape innocent or Dumbledore not  dead
reminds me of the silly Serious is not really dead stuff when  OOTP
first came out. It's time to get over denial, the characters may  not
have developed in ways you like but it's JKR's book.

Eggplant, I would respectfully ask that you quit demeaning people
who don't agree with your opinion by saying they're in denial, or 
going on about them doing backflips and whatnot when they 
quote canon inconsistencies. In fact there *are* many canon
inconsistencies in both fact and behavior in HBP, which JKR
inserted deliberately to keep the mystery going until Book 7.
 
As for JKR, I totally agree that they are her books, and it's not 
her job to make everybody like the way the characters develop 
or end up, but to write them the way she sees them. That said,
none of us--including you--are JKR, and none of us--including
you--know how the saga is going to end nor have the final take
on the characters. I believe JKR is a good enough writer to 
make whatever her plan is--DDsMan!Snape or ESE!Snape,
Real AK or Fake AK, etc--totally believable and supported by
the ambiguous plot points in HBP (which will of course be made
unambiguous once the full plot is revealed). So let us all concede
that we do not KNOW what will happen, we can only guess,
and short of guesses contradicted by ABSOLUTE FACT, any
guess is as valid as another (and probability is at least partly
in the eye of the beholder, and perhaps meaningless, since 
JKR has shot probability to hell more than once in her books).
