SSSusan:
Heh heh.  Good question!

Given that I'm a firmly committed DDM!Snaper, believing DD *did* 
ask/plead/command Snape to kill him, who has several friends who 
argue that DD would *never* ask that of anyone... it is a good 
question to raise: How could someone who'd NEVER ask a person to 
tear his/her soul be nonchalant about destroying soul bits?  

Since I happen to believe DD *would* and probably *did* ask people 
[Snape, Harry] to kill for A Cause (whether that rips the soul or 
not), it's consistent with that to have him also not be squeamish 
about sending Harry off to destroy soul bits.

But I would be curious to have someone from the other viewpoint 
weigh in.  If you DON'T think DD would ever ask someone to kill/tear 
off a soul bit, how *does* it make sense that he doesn't seem to 
mind destroying Voldy's soul pieces?
