maria8162001:
About Unbreakable between Snape and Dumbledore, I don't think 
there is one. We know that Dumbledore just make the person 
promised like what he did with Harry, and I guess that's what 
he did with Snape, as well. Don't think killed Dumbledore at 
all even when JK said she needs to kill all those who are close 
to Harry so Harry have to go on alone. 

If even that Dumbledore is really dead, then Snape killed him 
with his consent for the greater good and to save an innocent. 
I know a lot of readers believed that Snape is totally on the 
other side but I want to believe he's not because of all the 
clues before and after he killed Dumbledore it says otherwise. 
There are a lot of clues and there's one that I would like to 
mention that I cannot find ever mentioned anywhere else on 
every HP site I went. 

It's on the page 564 of HBP UK edition:

"Kill me,then" panted Harry, who felt no fear at all,but only 
rage and contempt. Kill me like you killed him, you coward-"
"DON'T-' screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, 
inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, 
howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them, '-CALL ME 
COWARD!' 

Why would he be so enraged when Harry called him coward the 
second time around? Why his wasn't he angry the first time Harry 
called him coward? 

HBP, UK edition page 562: 

'Fight back!' Harry screamed at him. 'Fight back, you cowardly- 
''Coward, did you call me, Potter?' shouted Snape.' Your father 
would never attack me unless it was four on one, what would you 
call him, I wonder?'

Snape got angry when Harry called him coward the second time 
because Harry mentioned that he killed Dumbledore and Snape's 
expression the way JK described it is understandable, an 
expression of a person who is in pain for doing he loathed to 
do and being misunderstood. So I guess and I really hope that 
Dumbledore is not really dead and that him and Snape have 
planned it all, to save both Draco and Snape from Voldemort. 

Anyway, nobody saw the body of Dumbledore during the funeral and 
his wand wasn't mentioned anymore after it flew away from his 
hand when Draco said the disarming spell. The wizard's wand is 
very important. I guess Dumbledore would still be in the 7th 
book.
