I see Snape as cool and aloof. The only emotions you see him display
are hate and anger. People here have argued as to his acting or
really feeling the hate. I think sometimes he is acting a bit, but
mostly when it comes to Harry and Snape's memory of James projected
onto Harry, Snape is feeling hatred. But all other times he is cold,
unfeeling. Not the *heart on the sleeve type*.

vmonte responds:
I disagree. And you contradict yourself in your answer.

Also, I wonder if there is another reason that Dumbledore did not
want to teach Harry Occlumency himself. JKR recently told a fan
that there was another reason as to why Dumbledore did not kill
Voldemort at the DoM ((Snip) I always took it to mean that perhaps
the connection between Harry and Voldemort is stronger than
Voldemort even knows, and that if DD were to kill Voldemort, Harry
would also die.

DD does not kill LV, because DD does not use the AK curse. We have
never seen DD kill anyone, and I don't think that we will ever see
him do that. He does have members of the Order of the Phoenix that
might, but have we ever seen that? Don't they just use self defense?
And then they round the bad guys up and let the Aurors process them?

vmonte now: 
Yes, I agree that Dumbledore does not fit the profile of a killer, 
which makes me very happy. I wish this was the only reason for why he 
didn't try to destroy Voldemort at the DoM, but it isn't according to 
JKR.

JKR: "The other question that I am surprised no one has asked me 
since Phoenix came out—I thought that people would—is why Dumbledore 
did not kill or try to kill Voldemort in the scene in the ministry. I 
know that I am giving a lot away to people who have not read the 
book. Although Dumbledore gives a kind of reason to Voldemort, it is 
not the real reason. When I mentioned that question to my husband—I 
told Neil that I was going to mention it to you—he said that it was 
because Dumbledore knows that there are two more books to come. As 
you can see, we are on the same literary wavelength. [Laughter]. That 
is not the answer; Dumbledore knows something slightly more profound 
than that."

So, Dumbledore did not give the real reason to Voldemort. But, what 
is it I wonder? I think that the connection between Harry and 
Voldemort is stronger than even Voldemort or Harry know. 

So, if Voldemort can posses Harry, can Harry learn to posses 
Voldemort?
