oh SO KEWL!!!   I think JKR was doing her "normal" twisting, but the 
opinion(theory) is Snape is good.  And she verifies it.  She discards the DD
is not dead, but stating that she has to be more explicit and spell it
out(that was his proposal, not opinion)


Sherry now:
I read that completely differently.  I think the comments about Rushti being
correct could refer to several different things, including that Harry will
have unknown friends to help him in the quest.  In fact, I'd bet on there
being a few unexpected helpers along the way with some great surprises
involved for all.  But since Rushti's Snape opinion was based on the idea
that Dumbledore is not dead, and Jo assured everyone that he is indeed dead,
then I don't read her remarks as saying, yes, I'm just gonna let you all
know now and end the debate, Snape is definitely good.  She could have
meant, yes, your opinion that if DD is still alive, it is a great hoax
cooked up to deceive Voldemort, but with her insistence that DD is
unequivocally dead, that kinda wipes out that theory.

But mostly, I just can't see her letting the biggest question of all, for
most readers, Snape good or bad, I can't see her just blurting that out.
There are a lot of things that interest me much more than Snape, but there's
no doubt the question of his loyalties has occupied more cyber space than
anything else since HBP.  I expect the debate will rage till book seven, and
even perhaps beyond.
