I think so too. While she is tricky, she's not THAT tricky. Though I 
have been guilty of looking too hard for secret sub-plots (ahem, ESE!
Fudge), its better taken with a grain of salt, knowing that the 
elaborate wild explainations are not likely to be true. It reminds me 
of all the theories that Snape wasn't really a spy for the death-
eaters (and that he wasn't the one Voldemort referenced in the 
graveyard), or that the mauraders weren't in Gryffindor, or the 
James/Lupin switching spell (I won't mention the Vampire!Snape 
theory, because that one had a lot of seeming clues in the text). 

Sure, perhaps it is true that Snape and Dumbledore put together his 
death and Snape was acting on Dumbledore's orders and all that, but I 
just cannot see how that would play out in the text, especially with 
Dumbledore being dead. I would really like it if Snape went back to 
being a jerk who is fighting hard for the side of good, I liked him a 
lot better that way, but I have a sinking feeling that it isn't true.

My reply: You guys are forgetting this is a woman that came up with the ingenius plot of Sirius Black!  So what if is carrying over to another book.  The first thing I learned after reading POA is that I couldn't trust anything (and GOF as well) amd to think outside of the  damn box.  The theories with Snape being good isn't even that outlandish because trust me if I believe it..it can't be!  I don't buy into Lupin being evil, or Snape a vampire, or James and Lupin switching (what on earth I don't even understand that one??).  But I do think that Snape is good.  I didn't even see it another way when I read the book.   
 
I think that what I am seeing is very bitter people upset about Dumbledores death who really want revenge.  Maybe that's not you...but Rowlings world is very tricky and there haven't been hardly any plot twists in the last two books.  Well, here you go this is the one.
