Horace Slughorn chapters all occuring on the same night, and in
particular, the UV and Slughorn's acceptance of the Potions position
happening at almost the same time (I believe I snagged that last from
Carol).

Carol responds:
Snape tells Draco that *he* made the Unbreakable Vow. Also, I don't
think that even DD knows Snape well enough to impersonate him so
accurately. And how would he and snape have known that Narcissa was
coming, not to mention Bellatrix, who followed Narcissa against
Narcissa's will.

FWIW, I agree that the first four chapters occur roughly
simultaneously, and it's just possible that Slughorn's acceptance of
the Potions position coincides with Narcissa getting her brainwave for
the UV (which could not have been part of her oirginal plan since it
requires Bellatrix's presence) just at the moment when Snape becomes
officially the DADA instructor and therefore subject to the so-called
jinx (the DADA curse).

Carol, who thinks we should drop the polyjuiced Snape idea and just
talk about Snape as Snape and DD as DD in posts concerning them and
their motives
