> Dumbledore faked his death 

Eggplant:

Why? Why would you even want that? All the drama in the final 

confrontation between Harry and Voldemort that we all know is coming 

in the last book would be sucked out if we knew the only wizard 

Voldemort ever feared was alive and well and ready to take over if 

Harry failed. No, Harry must defeat Voldemort without a wizard of 

Dumbledore's caliber to help him. For dramatic reasons Dumbledore must 

be dead meat. 



Ana (now):

One simple reason: denial. I cant say I really think DD is alive, but I sure hope so. I think I must admit I got to the point that whatever JKR decides to do will surprise me. 

I simply couldnt believe the whole scene at the tower, even if I was expecting DD to be dead ever since JK announced the death of a character (Book 4).

But being a DDM!Snape supporter (even though I can see some sense in most of other Snape theories) is what makes me hope - rather than believe - that DD is alive (pretending to be dead) or snape killed him obeying some previous agreement.

I do agree Dumbledores death takes the plot to a whole new level, but I still dont think Harry is ready to face LV. Perhaps Snape will end up preparing Harry (intending to do so, if youre a DDM!Snapey, or unwillingly so, if not). Well just have to wait and see.



Eggplant:

And another thing, let's forget about that vow for a moment because 

something else that happened in chapter 2 that proves Snape is a 

villain, he said he helped provide information that caused the death 

of Sirius Black. If that wasn't true why did he say it? How did he 

expect to get away with a lie about it to the two people who know more 

about the incident than anyone else on Earth? Kreature went to 

Narcissa and told her secret stuff about Sirius, and Bellatrix was the 

one who actually killed him. Snape would be a fool to say that if it 

wasn't true. 



Ana:

I dont remember Snape saying anything about Sirius death, except for the part he congratulates Bella for doing it. But I dont have the books with me now (Im at work), Ill check it when Im home. Anyway, I still think he must have said a few things about the Order to LV in order to be a believable DE - and a spy!, even if he was only pretending to be loyal. He problably told something about Sirius and Harrys relationship, something that could lead to the understanding that one would go anywhere for the other (Harry went to the Ministry to try and rescue Sirius, who went to the Ministry to try and rescue Harry, ending up dead).

And I dont deny that Snape wasnt sorry, after all, that Padfoot died. That doesnt necessarily make him a traitor of the Order. (killing DD is much more hard to argue with... and even that alone isnt enough, IMO, to support ESE!Snape.)


Anyway, I dont know if Im off topic, or if this has already been discuss, but I was wondering how does Harry intends to get to Godrics Hollow. I dont remember anything in the books about the fidelius charm (the one that has Petigrew as secret keeper) being lifted after the Potters death. Doesnt that mean that the Potters house would be unreacheable for anyone who hasnt heard from Peter its location? 

As a matter of fact, how did Hagrid managed to find it to take baby Harry to Dumbledore?



Ana - just confused.
