Alla:

But aren't you forgetting tiny thing, Jen ( I know you are not, so 
of course I am kidding here, but at the same time not quite 
kidding :))? Both James and Sirius ARE dead at this point, died 
trying to defend the loved ones ( the code of behaviour if you give 
interviews at least a little bit of importance as I do JKR does 
expect her heroes to follow, IMO), so isn't it possible that 
Dumbledore summons Snape precisely because he expects Snape at such 
critical time to change his nature AND behave like a hero?

What I am trying to say is that Dumbledore has no other capable and 
powerful adults at this point to summon to his help( I mean, of  
course he has the Order, but Snape seems to be the most pwoerful 
magic strength wise IMO) ,so maybe just maybe he was hoping that 
Snape would behave not quite as who he is?
And maybe just maybe Dumbledore, who of course not afraid of death, 
but who IMO was not very keen on dying yet because Harry needed his 
help so badly, maybe Dumbledore was sorely dissapointed the minute 
Snape showes up on the Tower?

Alla,

who does not share Eggplant's desire to see Dirty!Harry AT ALL, but 
who IS with Eggplant in her incapability to see Snape doing anything 
decent or moral on the Tower.
