Thanks, I didn't know 'spinner' could mean a liar (I'm not a native 
english speaker, so I miss some things).

That would be very interesting, if Snape is 'spinning' his web of 
lies, who is he trying to fool? If he's fooling Bellatrix in Spinner's 
End, he could be on the right side.

Your idea of the spinner ending in Dumbledore's death is good, I 
think, and very much to JKR's tastes. She likes her double meaning, 
doesn't she?

I had never thought the title of this chapter was meaningful, thanks 
for the clue!
