I've tried to see it from your(group you)point of view but all these 
intricate twists and turns ie: It wasn't a *real* AK that killed 
Dumbledore (huh??)or it was the *curse* rather than stupidity and 
hubris that made him take the UV, or even a smoldering passion for 
Cissy that just did the big guy in <sigh>.  All this to show him in a 
much better light than anything that's *actually written* on the pages 
by the author! I'm too old to start twisting myself into that kind of 
a pretzel.

Regarding the inticrate twists and turns it requires to make Snape DDM,
i.e., people not being what they seem, I just have to note that this
is what JKR *DOES*. I mean, we are all reading the same books, aren't
we? And that's the reason so many of us are reading them, and talking
about them. Because very *little* is what it seems in Harry Potter's
world. And everyone has secrets, some good, many bad. While I respect
the divergent opinions on whether Snape is DDM, ESE, OFH, or one of
a dozen other things, the one argument that is not valid in JKR's
world is that something must be so (Snape is ESE) simply because
it seems so. Far too many things aren't!
