Alla:

Not that I am dead set upon the reasons for Snape's actions to be 
the desire to be the most powerful wizard in the world ( although I 
DO think this would be VERY IC reason for Snape to kill DD, but I do 
see other possible reasons), BUT Magpie, why are you so sure that if 
Snape gets rid of both DD and Voldemort, he is just an unemployed 
Potions master. IMO we clearly see that DE on the Tower respect 
Snape and defer to him. Do I think he can lead this bunch if he so 
desires in the absense of Voldemort? I sure do, I think he can 
handle them.

JMO,
Alla.
