I really like this theory, a lot of cool and very interesting 
thoughts.  I don't believe it, though.  For starters, too many 
problems (the portrait, Fawkes' lament, can't imagine DD as Snape 
attacking Harry w/that slashing spell at the end, etc.)  And what I 
really don't get is the "why" of it --- why do it?  How would it help 
defeat LV?  Would having disguised DD with the Death Eaters be much 
better than having DDM Snape embedded w/ the Death Eaters?
