saw a phoenix soaring. If this were true Snape had to be in on a plot
not with LV but with Dumbledore to make LV think Dumbledore is dead &
put Snape in place as LV's right hand man (ready to help take him down
when the time comes.) Harry's safety in the meantime was insured by
his return to his family home at the Dursleys until he's seventeen. If
this is true it opens up a host of possiblities for how the final book
will develop. Finding the horcruxes would be much easier by a
Dumbledore presumed dead and lots of twists & turns finding out who
was in on the plot(the anti LV organization is called "the order of
the phoenix" after all.)

Vidar:
Unfortunately, Jo Rowling has already shot down this theory. It was at
the reading in New York in August, together with Stephen King and John
Irving. You can read what she said at
