LOL! This is funny.

Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly able to imagine the possibility 
that the drink was indeed poison, but the certainty of such 
interpetation is to me very questionable, since I fail to see any 
definite signs of such and especially definite signs of it being 
unrecoverable poison.

But as I said many times,  to me the most " in favor" clue of the 
drink NOT being a deadly poison is Dumbledore's willingness to 
implement plans to hide Draco and his family. He says that "he" will 
do it, not anybody else. Now one can twist it as in saying that DD 
would not tell Draco if he was dying, etc. I don't think so. I think 
DD expected to recover that night. Could I be wrong? Sure. But what 
I don't see at all no matter how hard I try is "Dumbledore was going 
to die no matter what" interpretation.

"Dumbledore was MAYBE going to die" - Yes, we don't know for sure 
one way or another, I will buy that, but not with any kind of 
certainty, IMO.

Is it so hard to imagine that Snape was summoned to help Dumbledore 
just as he did with the ring? I can certainly imagine that.


JMO,
