Go and Wake Severus

Don't ever have private discussions in the Hogs Head or the Forbidden 
Forest. Charms class, Potions class...even the Great Hall are much 
better places. Of course, no one ever quite "ges" the entire 
conversaion. What about Snape and DD's little chat in the forest?

Maybe the heated discussion had to with the UV. Maybe Snape has a way 
to circumvent the UV, but DD doesn't agree with it. Or perhaps Snape 
wants DD to take action against Draco.  Heck we don't even know if or 
how much DD knows about the UV. I've seen some pretty good arguments 
both ways.

Snape has been asked to do something he no longer wants to do. We'll 
work this one over for a couple of more years, but it could be that 
he thinks DD shouldn't be going after horcruxes. Perhaps he's agreed 
to patch DD up each time; but is DD taking too much for granted, 
thinking he can be patched up each time? He's an old man, maybe 
someone else should be going after them?

When DD and Harry return to Hogsmeade, DD asks for Snape. He's very 
specific. He doesn't want Pomfrey; he wants Snape. "Severus," said 
Dumbledore clearly. "I need Severus." Then at Hogwarts DD says, "Go 
and wake Severus,"
"Tell him what has happened and bring him to me
"

Interesting that DD knew where Snape was. He told Harry to go wake 
Snape and bring him. How did DD know Snape was asleep? DD told Harry 
he never left Hogwarts unprotected. He has Order members patrolling 
the halls. But not Snape. Snape is in bed. Snape is in bed? The Dark 
Lurker himself is in bed while the others patrol the halls?

Now, perhaps it isn't Snape's turn this night to patrol the halls. 
Order members need sleep too. Hard to believe Snape would go to bed 
if DD wasn't around, though. Flitwick goes to get Snape
not sure if 
McGonagall knew Snape was asleep, or just that he wasn't on Patrol 
Duty. What happens when Flitwick wakes him? Snape attacks. He didn't 
go to bed knowing something might happen that would require his being 
woken suddenly. In fact, he didn't go to bed at all. Snape is already 
dressed. He was asleep, but he wasn't in bed. I think DD put a charm 
on him. I don't think he wanted Snape to know he was leaving the 
castle that night. Too bad. Things might have been different if Snape 
had taken on the DEs before DD returned.

Thoughts?
