I think it has merit as well, except I don't think it is the Draught
of Living Death(more on that later).  I think DD was going to do some
spell or potion(hence Snape's involvment) to make the Malfoy family
*die*, when in fact they were alive and unhappy, protected by the
Filelius Charm.  I think that this is what happened to Regulus Black(I
am in the camp that he is not dead, but the original "You cannot be
killed if you are already dead" wizard).  This goes back to my Snape
theory on why DD trusts him and that Snape delivered Regulus to DD,
instead of killing him on LV's orders.   I think that Regulus will
play a huge part in book 7 - since Rowling isn't going to introduce
any new characters, he would be a good bet, IMHO.

OK - the Draught of Living Death - I think that potion is not used to
*hide* the living and make them seem dead.  Instead of I think that
potion is used keep someone, who is moments away from death, from
actually crossing over to the other side.  I think that is what DD had
been taking during book 6 and why Snape didn't really kill DD - he
just released him from the effects of the potion.  DD doesn't fear
death, as he has stated time & time again, but he needed to teach
Harry about Horcruxes before he could go.  

but that is just my theory.  Are we hoping it is just 1 year & 9
months, or do we think Rowling will keeps us hanging for a longer
period of time?
