I just finished listening to HBP and all that I can say is that I am
sitting here, with eyes aglaze and mouth hanging open. The section in
the cave is absolutely brilliant.

I have a question: are the initials RAD or RAB?

Finally, here is my opinion on the ending:

I do not believe for an instant that Dumbledore was wrong about Snape.
None of us really knows why Dumbledore trusted Snape, but trust him he
did. If that trust was good enough for Dumbledore, it is still good
enough for me. 

When Dumbledore insisted that Harry go and get Snape, and only Snape, he
was putting a plan into action that had already been decided. 

It was Snape's job to kill Dumbledore if the cave killed him, which it
did. After all, Dumbledore knew what he could be facing when his hand
was injured so horribly and he could not fix it.

When Dumbledore said, "Please," to Snape, he knew that he was dying and
wanted Snape to finish the job. Why? The obvious answer is twofold, to
keep Draco from becoming a killer and to make Snape the ultimate spy.
The real reason? I don't know. I guess that I will find out in book
