I don't think anyone bring this one up yet, but one more clue to prove the 'DD order Snape
to kill him' camp deliberate choice of similar sets of vocabularies:
US Hardcover,
p. 571:
Dumbledore panted and then spoke in a voice Harry did not
recognize, for he had never heard Dumbledore **frightened** like
this.
"**Hating** himself, **repulsed** by what he was doing, Harry
forced the goblet back toward Dumbledore's mouth and tipped it, so that
Dumbledore drank the remainder of the potion inside."
p. 595:
"Severus..." The sound **frightened** Harry beyond anything
he had experienced all evening.
"Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was
**revulsion** and **hatred** etched in the harsh lines of his face."
The parallization is just too obvious here. DD forcing Harry to go through killing DD
himself with the potion, has the same sets of words used in SS killing DD scene...hinting
the same situation possibly?
And a lot of people seems to completely forget the argument Hagrid overheard of between
DD and Snape. Snape doesn't want to do it ('it' being Snape killing DD), but DD insist him
follow through.
Why? Why the killing?
Because DD is dying, from sacrificing himself.
And just like Harry, Snape is more valuable than DD for some unknown significant reason.
DD and his mysterious injured blackened hand is the hint: before the book began, DD was
either fatally poison or cursed by the ring, and is slowly dying. Snape and DD already
made the deal of having Snape AK him for the future greater good purpose (reason not
explicit explained yet, maybe DD is making himself a hocrux hence ought to be
destoryed), that clearly this deal is made BEFORE the Unbreakable Vow (in 'Spinner's End'
Snape already mention about knowing DD's hand injury).
Now it'd be very interesting and helpful if we were to organize the scarily similarities
between LV and Snape, how these two mirror each other. What is the purpose of this
deliberate parallelization for the theme and future plot? We used to only have the
parallelization between LV and HP, why throw in Snape all the sudden? Why do we have
three half blood key-players for the finale?
