Julie, another Snape lover thought Snape could kill all the Death
Eater in the tower so easily it wouldn't be sporting, you think Snape
wouldn't have stood a chance against them. I think the truth is in the
middle, it would have been dangerous but possible. As I said before,
murdering Dumbledore was easy, it was not dangerous at all, but it was
not right.

I must be missing something because Snape lovers keep bringing the UV
up time after time, and in all honesty I just don't get it. Can
somebody please explain to me how Snape making a vow to become a
traitor and murderer months before in any way excuses his despicable
behavior that night in the tower?

Even we readers don't know that for a fact, and we know more about it
than Snape did. We know Dumbledore drank that potion but Snape didn't,
he didn't even know the potion existed.

Good think too because Legilimency can only communicate feelings and
moods, not ideas or commands or thoughts.

If that's what Dumbledore said then the debate would be over, but
that's not what he said, all he said was "Severus Please"; the rest is
pure imagination. If Snape really was a good guy and that is what
Dumbledore wanted to say you'd think he'd let him live another 3
seconds so he could finish his sentence; that way Snape wouldn't would
have a lifetime mortal enemy in Harry Potter, the only one with a
chance of defeating Voldemort. Very odd behavior for a good guy, very
odd indeed.
