Valky, I'm sorry that I can't respond to most of this very thought-
provoking post of yours -- most of it went over my head. But what 
you say in the paragraph above corresponds to something that I've 
been thinking. I thought it highly possible that there was something 
of Voldemort (a piece of his soul?) in that stuff that Dumbledore 
had to drink in the cave. We don't really know what that drink was 
and what exactly it was going to do to Dumbledore. I have thought 
that perhaps it turned Dumbledore himself into a horcrux and, 
therefore, he would have to be destroyed (and Dumbledore, of course, 
knew all this before he drank it). Also, it must also have been part 
of Dumbledore's plan to make Harry to think that Snape was truly an 
evil Death Eater so that if and when Voldemort goes poking around in 
Harry's head, Snape's loyalty to him will be confirmed by Harry's 
thoughts. I've probably gone off the subject of your original post 
here, and I apologize.
