"K":

But that *IS IT*! Snape, being the eavesdropper, does know some of 
the prophecy and he is smart enough to guess at the rest.

IMO Snape saw an opportunity to get rid of Dumbledore and he took 
it. One powerful wizard out of the way and one left to go. 

Snape doesn't try to kill Harry because he believes Harry will be 
the one to destroy Voldemort. Snape needs that Scarhead. :) Then 
Snape will be *The* Dark Lord. 

As much as I dislike the above it answers so many questions. I've 
said for a long time now that Snape stands to gain something from 
the defeat of Voldemort but I didn't necessarily believe it was to 
be the next feared Dark Lord. 

Now, not being particularly fond of evil people, I don't know why I 
believe Snape to still be the most interesting character in the 
series. I've had about all I can take of love, love, 
love...wonderful Lily...hero Harry...kids smarter than adults...etc.
