Carol response:
Interesting response as you snipped my entire post, which does not
mention the possibility of a fake AK or Snape's reasons for taking the
UV, only the events on the tower and why DD might have wished to
sacrifice himself. And I certainly did not include a smoldering
passion for Cissy (I'm not a fan of ACID POPS or even LOLLIPOPS). I
would appreciate your looking at it again and answering the specific
points I made without snipping them or inserting points that were not
made in this particular post. What embroidery have I presented? You
haven't answered my arguments or presented any counterevidence.

Not that it really matters, as you seem to have made up your mind
already, but I would like some evidence that you have actually read
the post and some canon-based arguments against it. ("I don't agree"
does not constitute a valid argument on this list--or anywhere,
really. Nor does blithely snipping another poster's points without
presenting counterarguments.) You'll need to go upthread to find the
original arguments, which I would appreciate your not snipping, except
where they're redundant.

Think about what would or might have happened on the tower had Snape
not sent DD over the battlements with what we'll assume, for the sake
of argument, was a real AK.

Carol, too old to twist herself into a pretzel striving to make Snape
ESE! or OFH! when the evidence indicates otherwise
