AmanitaMuscaria now: But Voldemort might very well have pitched the 
defences on the Horcruxes towards Dumbledore. It's the same thing as 
him underestimating Harry in each of their battles.

AmanitaMuscaria again: Agreed. I think this is where Harry's friends 
come in - lots of different skills there. There's not enough time, 
and it would also make a boring read, I think, to have a series of - 
find Horcrux - nearly get killed - disarm Horcrux.

AmanitaMuscaria again: Agreed. Underestimating the opposition again.

AmanitaMuscaria again: Can't quite see this myself. That timing would 
surely make Harry unleash another spell, in the heat of battle, as it 
were, and *puf* no Snape, no explanation. I prefer Snape turning up 
before the final battle.
