Hi everyone,

     I am new to the group but I just wanted to throw this out there
to all of you who believe Snape is indeed, evil.

Would Dumbledore beg for his life?
Would Dumbldore, trusting Snape need to plead with him to help?

DD said "Please..." because he was asking Snape to go through with
whatever plan they had come up with.

What else could DD be asking Snape to help with? Please blast the
Death Eaters, I don't have my wand? No. Snape only hesitates because
what he is about to do he finds very hard.

Why does Dumbledore freeze Harry when he is under the cloak? So he
can't mess up the plan. He knows Harry can take care of himself and
he is invisible. No need to freeze him...no other reason except to
prevent him from messing up the plan.

And finally...

If Dumbledore trusts Snape and he says over and over he does, why
does he refuse him the Defense Against the Dark Arts post year after
year? We hear right off the bat that Dumbledore doesn't trust Snape
to take the job..that is the RUMOR. We know DD encourages rumors that
are untrue. Ex: The Shrieking Shack is Haunted...to protect people
from Lupin when he is there.

How could DD trust Snape to be a spy for the order but NOT trust him
to teach DADA? The answer is he couldn't.  Dumbledore wanted Snapes
character to be called into question. Why does DD suddenly just
decide to give Snape the job? Because he knows he won't be coming
back. =)
