Pippin:
It never fails--let a contrarian version of canon gain some credibility, and it suddenly 
becomes not bangy enough. It's a catch-22. But it certainly would be bangy for *Harry* if 
he found out that Snape didn't off Dumbledore.

Supposing that JKR did wish to indicate that the AK was possibly fake and that conspiracy 
or legilimency between Snape and Dumbledore, unknown to Harry, was a possibility. What 
more  should she have done to suggest this without giving the game away?

What I really can't understand about OFH!Snape is that it seems to presume that Snape is 
somehow  less culpable for killing Dumbledore if he did it in pursuit of his own ends than 
if he did it at Voldemort's orders. And I don't understand that at all.
