Erm... I am not sure we can say with certainty that Dumbledore let 
Snape go. I think it is just as likely that it just **happened** 
that Dumbledore let Snape go - meaning that he lost his moment, one 
second, only one second when Dumbledore contemplates what to do, 
whether to stun Snape or not,whether to do anything to him, etc.

If Dumbledore , say decides to stun Snape, it is too late, Snape is 
gone.

Is anything in canon contradicts this speculative scenario?

Unless of course you argue high and mighty DD, who never ever makes 
mistakes and always catches his enemy.

But say you are right and Dumbledore willfully and deliberately let 
Snape take the Prophecy to Voldemort.

Please believe me when I say so, I will be **very** upset with this 
Dumbledore, in my mind he would be no better than Voldemort and I 
will hope that whatever higher power in existance in Potterverse 
will make Dumbledore pay for what he did.

**This** Dumbledore and Snape will surely be worth each other in my 
mind then, but yes, I do keep my hope that Dumbledore did not just 
let Snape leave, but it is just happened.

I do not want to hate Dumbledore. :(

JMO,

Alla
