Leslie41:
Yes, that's certainly a possibility I think...that he didn't hate DD 
but was on LV's side and killed him just because he had to.   

My opinion on Snape's feelings about killing DD isn't just based on 
the death scene, but many other clues throughout the book taken as a 
whole that have been cited already.  The point I was trying to make 
was that Snape doesn't hate DD or want to kill him.  To take that 
further, to say that he "loves" DD, and is obedient to the order, 
other factors have to be considered beyond what happens in "The 
Lightning Struck Tower".

I don't think Snape would think that's "stupid" at all, considering 
that he has risked his life constantly for the order, IMHO.
