[HPforGrownups] HBP thoughts

I thought that I'd probably leave the list for the
next 2 or 3 years, but that's just too much fun to
give up.

Disclaimer: if the things in HBP are just what they
seem, then Snape is on his way to the last circle of
Hell, to take his rightful place between Judas and
Brutus, and nothing to discuss.
So I'm only arguing on the conditional probability of
him not being ESE, and acting on Dumbledore orders
somehow.

It only works if Harry respects and wants to please
the applier of the method.

Has it? I thought Snape was in no condition to lie
when he insisted that James NEVER went into one-to-one
fight with him.

Oh yes, these curses were so dark, that the golden
gryffindor boys would not touch them with the 10-foot
wand. Oh wait, they did. :-)

I thought that after Dumbledore treated pensieves more
or less as CCTV cameras, the argument about their
subjectivity will be over. Apparently not.

So, is Harry doomed then? He did use an unforgivable
on Bella, and if he didn't use it on Snape that wasn't
for the lack of trying.
