Hi Martha. Welcome to the group! I think the similarities between 
the DD & Harry cave scene and what happened on the tower have been 
brought up before, but there wasn't a lot of response then. I 
thought it was quite an irony that had the cave potion killed DD 
then Harry would be where Snape is now in term of being DD's 
murderer. But the murder would have been involuntary in that Harry 
was under DD's order to force the potion on him (tho he gets some 
slacks for believing DD that the potion wouldn't kill him... not 
right away, anyway). The same could possibly be applied to Snape 
(tho we don't know that it really does). The argument between DD and 
Snape in the forest could well be of the same nature that DD had 
with Harry before they went off looking for the cave (when DD made 
Harry swear to obey him even if it means to leave DD to save 
himself). The thing is there just isn't a lot to go on yet since we 
haven't been given a lot of info. JKR has done such a good job of 
writing Snape to be ambiguous that he could go either way 
convincingly.

CH3ed  :O)
