Snape is innocent

I do not think that asking to be hurt instead of other people is one of 
Pettigrew's traits, quite the contrary. I am certain that Snape killed the real 
Dumbledore, and that Dumbledore asked Snape to do it. He had seen it 
coming all year, that is why he told Harry as much as he could about the 
Horcruxes and stuff so that Harry could carry on after DD's death. I think 
Snape is still our guy, he didn't have a choice and DD thought it was worth 
dying (he as not in very good shape anyway) so that Snape could go on 
spying on LV, and Malfoy could be saved. DD must have known all year that 
Snape had vowed to help Malfoy kill him; I cannot believe he was pleading for 
his life, not after what he said about walking in the arena with one's head held 
up and eveything.
IMO Snape will be revealed to have been on our side all along (that does not 
stop him from being a big and detestable bully, but people are not wholly 
good or whooly evil). 
Maybe nothing really new in this post, but felt like sharing this.
