Did Snape think Draco was to kill Harry instead of Dumbledore?

I don't believe Snape agreed to the vow because he was willing to kill
Harry. I don't think he planned to kill anybody. I believe he was so
complacent about his own cleverness, he simply took one risk too many.
I agree with the theory put forth by others that the UV was the
first manifestation of the DADA curse and that the curse worked
through the character flaw its victims. Snape's was intellectual
hubris. 


 

Corgi:

 

I'll have to agree with you on that. Snape made some very poor decisions and took an extremely big risk. Snape has a tendency to be his own worst enemy and for proof I'd like you all to cast your minds back to the Moody!Crouch's attempt to kill Harry scene in book four. When Crouch was gloating on how much favor he was going to get from Voldemort Harry saw three ghostly/shadowy figures forming in the foe glass. After Crouch was subdued Snape looked into the foe glass and saw himself. One wonders how much of the many predicaments during his school years and later where due to him making poor decisions.

 

Have fun,

Corgi
