Alla:

I think you ARE quite convincing in 141410. I CAN buy that type of 
images transferring occur, absolutely. Bravo! There are some 
additional problems I see though even with that "conversation" First 
of all, what if Snape misunderstands the images. What if with  the 
image of potion DD really wants to say something else? I don't know 
that he needs to drink another portion of that potion and Snape needs 
to bring it to him now or later?

You know what I mean? Isn't it awfully risky for Snape ( if he is DD!M 
that is) to interpret the images in a way of him killing DD if he is 
not totally sure?

What if that is NOT what DD wants? At least words are clearer, no? 

So, "images" work MUCH better with canon, but still could be 
ambiguous, IMO.

Besides, what about timing? Only couple of seconds passed and that was 
MORE than one image to show. Don't you think that it was still not 
enough time to do so?



JMO,
