Dungrollin:
You mean, if it walks with a limp like Mad-Eye Moody, if it has a 
magical eye, like Mad-Eye Moody, and if it drinks from a flask like 
Mad-Eye Moody, then it must (obviously) be Mad-Eye Moody?

Come off it! Have we been reading the same books?

DD would never have left it this late in the game to say "Oh, blimey, 
Snape, I've just thought of a difficulty with this secret agent 
malarky! What if Voldemort orders you to murder me?!"
Of course they've discussed it before. DD has a fairly good idea that 
the protection around the Horcrux will be fatal (the last one took his 
hand, and he's slowing down), and he knows that if he dies from the 
effects of the potion, Snape will die. Remember the vow? If Malfoy 
couldn't do it, Snape swore he would, if DD dies any other way, 
Snape's broken his vow. DD has a final task for Snape, and it *must* 
be accomplished from *within* the DEs, and it's more important than 
DD's own life.

And if DD didn't want Snape to kill him, why didn't he summon Fawkes 
to pass him his wand, and swallow the AK? Why did he immobilise Harry 
under the invisibility cloak? Why did he appear to have known what 
Draco's mission was all year, and *still* trust Snape?
