Yes, I've read through the posts....

However, one question sticks in my mind...

What on earth would Dumbledore plead for?!?

I can only come up with one answer...

At the end of OOP DD makes a statement concerning, "doing what is 
easy....and doing what is right"...

Did Snape remember Cedric? *grin*

So this leads me to wonder if snape's actions determine whether he 
did what was easy or what was right...

I might have headed towards, "what is right"....if it had not been 
for DD's speech to Draco telling him he could go into hiding...I'm 
sure Snape knew of this already given Sirius' fate..(is there 
someone else that led Snape to the action he took? Perhaps Irma 
Pince..anagram I'm a Prince?)...

I think snape may have had too much emotional turmoil to make the 
appropriate decision. (or some of you may argue that he had)..

This makes excellent sense when we consider his behavior towards 
Harry during Snapes exit from Hogwarts; and Snape's reaction to 
being called a coward. Snape truly did believe he made the right 
decision...yet I would argue that Snape simply didn't have as much 
trust as DD did in him...

Wouldn't the "right" thing for Snape to do would be to go into 
hiding with Draco and Family???(I think DD would have been able to 
fake his death...so did DD no know about the UV?!?)

OR

Was the right thing to save DD alone...

OR

Was the right thing to save only Draco..

OR

Was the right thing for Snape to do was to apparate and save only 
himself so he could continue to spy for the order...(seeing as DD 
mumbled all the countercharms to remove the protective spells that 
allowed Harry and DD to fly over the walls..apparation may well have 
been possible.)

OR

Did Snape kill DD because he did what was right?

Doddie
(who thinks this may be the only plausible reason DD would PLEAD--
and Harry was froze..to watch Snape's decision...DD wasn't so 
concerned about Harry's safety as he stated the famous line, "I am 
not worried, I am with you." not long before said pleading scene. 
Hence, DD froze Harry to bear witness to the decisions Draco and 
Snape made.)
