Alla:

Why Dumbledore can be shocked? Of course I can only speculate at
this point. I just speculated about legilimency. Note that I am not
contradicting myself since in the past I argued that we don't know
that legilimency can pick up direct conversations, but IMO it is
likely that legilimens can pick up emotions and IMO the wizard as
powerful as DD may not need to look in Snape's eyes to pick his
moods.

Why else DD can be shocked? Maybe because Snape does not rush in to
the battle right away and DD expects him too?

Alla:
It does not make sense for you, for me it does.

Carol:
> "Pleading" does not equal "shock."

Alla:

Yes, pleading does not necessarily equal shock, but since I am very
willing to entertain the idea that Snape may not be an innocent
party, a dutiful soldier who takes DD out on his orders, but instead
a self-serving individual who finally realised that it makes no
sense to stick to DD side, because DD is well...seems to loose at
the moment,
then IMO pleading may very well be BECAUSE the person is shocked
from the most ultimate betrayal of his trust.

JMO of course,

Alla
