Peg:
  I agree, Becky.  I don't think Snape is interested in Harry at all in this scene.  My immediate take on it was the obvious, that DD was begging Snape not to kill him, but after I had time to think and came around to the DDM!Snape theory, I believe it's more along the lines of "Please, Severus, we both knew this moment was going to come this year, and it has to be done for the greater good.  Please, kill me now."
   
  Peg, who is glad that work has slowed down and she has time to read 60 HP-related e-mails every morning!
