colebiancardi back again:
big snip because I agree with you....

I find it also amusing as well that people state we still can't be 
sure based on this comment.  Now I could be wrong, but as you broke 
it down, it seems to me that JKR is stating that yes, Snape is good
(which was Rushdie's BIG QUESTION & opinion) and yes, Snape did kill 
Dumbledore - DD is dead.

look at Rushdie's words:

"Our theory is that Snape is in fact still a good guy."

Rushdie is stating Snape is a good guy - that is his opinion and 
theory.

"We propose that DD can't really be dead"

Rushdie is "proposing" the statement that Dumbledore is still alive.

"That this in fact is a ruse, cooked up between DD & Snape to put LV 
off his guard"

Well, true enough - it put EVERYONE off guard, including Harry

"Harry then will have more friends than he known when he & LV do face"

Rushdie is stating that Snape will be helping him when Harry battles 
LV.

"So, is Snape good or bad?"

The Question Which JKR Will Not Answer With A Simple Statement

"It's plain to see, everything follows from this."

Rushdie's belief that Snape is good, not evil, based on his opinion & 
theories.


"Jo: Your opinion, I would say, is right."
I read this as Yes, Snape is good

"Jo: However, I see I am going to  have to be more explicit and say 
Dumbledore is definitely dead."

And I read this as but DD is dead, but the rest of your theory is 
correct.
