What really happened on the tower

I've held this theory since February and it has stood the test of 
time unlike many of my theories that fall apart under careful 
scrutiny. So, here is my theory. See what you think.

I believe that DD had discovered the cave and the locket long before 
he took Harry there. Indeed I am convinced that Snape has been DD's 
man and together they hatched this plot.  This night was to be the 
pivotal point in a plan that probably stretched back to a time 
before Harry came to Hogwarts, because they both believed that 
Voldemort was not really permanently dead. I will skip the theory on 
the 24 hour mystery since I am still working on that part. 

I believe that at some point prior to the beginning of book 6 they 
determinded that the end of this year Snape would go undercover with 
Voldemort.  It was the only way to discover the location of the 
other horcruxes. And he was to take the fake locket horcrux with 
him. "See, Master, I was able to take this from DD. Of course, I 
killed him for you as well."  That way Voldemort would know someone 
was on to his horcruxes and he would immediately start to check up 
on them.  DD would be waiting, Snape would be trusted to help by 
Voldemort, and together Snape and DD would use Vol. to find all the 
pesty things.  

DD and Snape were to have their confrontation at Hogsmead where 
Alberforth would be available to assist the "dead" DD. They could 
have pulled the whole thing off.  Snape would have been imbedded 
with Voldemort, his golden, most honored ally, unimpeachable. DD in 
hiding, waiting to pounce.  It was a good plan. Unfortunately Draco 
messed it up. The confrontation took place on the tower, in front of 
a lot of witnesses, not just Harry who had been conditioned for 6 
years to expect the worst of Snape. Snape was forced to improvise 
the plan, leave without the fake horcrux, levitate DD off the tower, 
and not be able to check up on what had happened until days later. 
No wonder he was full of hate . and revulsion. The whole plan was 
messed up. That's what DD was pleading with him to do. Improvise. 
Finish the plan.

What are the clues that led me to this?  Harry left DD in his 
office.  After Harry left, how easy it was to put up the picture on 
the wall, to give final instrctions to Fawkes.  Didn't the whole 
cave thing seem to come too easy to DD, finding the entrance, 
getting the boat? And DD was calling for Harry to get Snape at 
Hogsmeade. All this year DD had been hinting that he anticipated 
death. And it was to be the last year at Hogwarts for Snape. 
Ohterwise DD wouldn't have appointed him the DADA instructor. 

There are other clues as well that you can find, many in Book 1. 
This isn't well written, I know. I should flesh it out more but I 
really am conflicted about posting this. I meant to hold on to it 
and still haven't pushed the button to post.  But ever after 
throwing us those tidbits about changing her mind about who lives 
and who dies, it really isn't enough.  She should update her 
website, she should write faster. How can we wait one more full year 
wihout sliding over the edge? I might even give up the clue of the 
snake.

Anyway, I predict that DD will show up about the halfway point or 
earlier. And Snape has to be on Harry's side to give him the clue 
about the snake, and that has to be well before the end.

So I really am going to post this, after all. I must spend less time 
on Harry Potter and more time weeding my garden.

Sue, going to look for her trowel.
